The Reminisce

By H.L. Cherryholmes

Curtis Aisling has literally dodged a bullet. At least he thinks he has. But he wonders whether that bullet still has it out for him when he leaves his ex-fianc and Los Angeles behind for Coronado, New Mexico to borrow some much-needed money from his sister. The small dilapidated desert town of Coronado has exactly one mansion, belonging to 92-year-old Veronica Meeks. Curtis's sister, Dia, and her partner, Araceli, are Veronica's live-in caretakers and while they are delighted to have a visitor, Veronica doesn't even know he's there. In the final stages of what the locals call "the reminisce," she is no longer aware of her surroundings. But when Curtis starts seeing things that no one else does, he's not convinced that the old, unresponsive woman is as disconnected as everyone thinks. At times what should be empty rooms within the huge house appear filled with furniture, and music emanates from a dusty radio that has been packed away for ages. Tales of Veronica's associations and connections with the occult lead Curtis to believe she is causing the ghostly occurrences. But when people begin to appear in those phantom rooms-people from her past including Veronica herself-he's no longer certain it is her doing. Each vision pulls Curtis further and further back, each one detailing a consequential moment in Veronica's long life, until he begins to fear he could become lost in her past. And then there's that bullet...
