WRITIN G MAYFIELD August 5, 2017 When I was a kid about 10 years old, grade 5, my neighbourhood was called Mayfield. We knew our neighbours like family and you could borrow a cup of sugar if you needed and we never locked our doors. My best friend was Darrell and lived across the street. Don’t exactly know why we became friends but he came to a birthday party one day. I looked like an Ethiopian starvation person, so skinny, and he looked like a B.C. Lions football player. We were like Mutt and Jeff, inseparable, always looking out for each other. One day Mr. Zary, our math teacher at Our Lady of Peace Catholic school, made us stay after school for talking in class. He was over 30; we never trusted anyone over 30. We’d walk down back alleys on our way home from school and I’d jump over a fence to pick a few carrots just for the thrill. Garden raiding was an art form in grade 5 before some yappy dog would come running off the porch. We’d come out of the alley by the Esso. We used to hang out there ‘cause there was a Coke machine and you could get a little bottle of Coke for a quarter. We’d jump up and down on that hose on the ground to make the bell go ding-ding, ding-ding, until the mechanic would come out and chase us away but we were long gone. We never trusted anyone over 30 ‘cause it would always get back to our Moms. Never trust anyone over 30. That was our slogan. The centre of the universe that’s what the Mayfield shopping centre was. It had a big neon sign in the corner which lit up the block and it buzzed when you walked by. There was a drugstore, a bakery, a hair salon and a café that served the greasiest fish and chips on the planet and they’d put them in little cardboard boxes that dripped with grease and malt vinegar. We loved them. You could sit at the front counter on a small chrome stool with those red vinyl tops that would spin us around and around dreaming that Judy

Lazlowski would come in for a milkshake. I sat behind her in grade 5 and just stared at her pony tail. I was smitten. Later, at ‘The Rink’, she became the carnival queen and I became the little hockey wiz kid. The highlight was when they played Peggy Sue and we’d skate around holding hands. In grade 6 we starred together in our school play ‘The Little Gypsy Gay’, which was a musical and we’d sing the theme song together. Mom sewed our costumes and Judy’s dress. A star was born. Later, I drove through the Mayfield community. Some things never change but when I turn the corner to see the Mayfield shopping centre I realized just how tiny it was. The sign was gone, replace by a 7-11. But then, I was now over 30.

THE RED THREAD PROLOGUE

Just looking at this fellow is like looking at his future. He wants to turn on his heel and leave.

Tuesday after supper he drives his car to the church, and idles, undecided. There are no lights on in the main sanctuary. He’s relieved. He can get the hell out of there. Then he sees a light at the side door. Someone peeking a head out as if they’re expecting him.

Helen picks up a marker pen and name tag that begins, “Hello, I’m ….”

Damn, he thinks. A small woman—she’s got to be in her seventies, but still trim, buttoned up tight in a pant suit—is marshalling chairs in a circle. The place has a damp, musty carpet smell of religion about it. He used to believe. It’s up in the air now. His faith in anything. “Dr. West send you? Welcome,” she says. “I’m Helen McKinnon.” Then she points to a man sitting limply, eyes downcast. No expression. “My husband, Jim.” The man smiles bleakly, his hand shaking to beat the band as he offers it in greeting.

“Name’s Lewis. Lewis with an “e.” He changed it from the small-town spelling, and his father’s name, “Louis,” years ago. Didn’t want to be a chip off the old block. Helen is making a big fuss setting up. Upsets the donation can; a few coins hit the floor, roll away. “Sorry about that,” she says crisply. She’s got that Brit accent, and is picking up the spilled change. She’s obviously doing this whole shtick for her husband. Devoted. Others are drifting in – and drifting’s a good word for it. They’re shuffling, unsteady on their feet, and their voices are quiet mutters, another Parkinson’s trait. And there’s staring. A lot of staring. Checking out who’s worse. Or who’s not so bad. Yet. Helen doesn’t waste any time. She knows it’s in short supply.
