“THE STATUE”
Peace River Shopper
It was rough growing up in a house full of ugly monsters. Oh no, not my family. That’s crazy, all that was fine. We had a great family with fun times and lots of vacations. We were always having fun together. It was a great life. The problem was my dad being a scary story writer, he often would bring home scary looking stuffed animals or statues. Even the music he would bring home was scary. Everything he did he tried to make as real as he could. One day he brought home a large statue of a gargoyle. It was huge. It looked real in every detail, very scary. Even mom told him to get rid of that thing, that it was too scary to have sitting around the house. Dad didn’t think so, but he moved the statue to his office in the basement anyway. That made all of us happy, especially mom. Dad continued to write scary stories about the gargoyle. He would tell about where he came from and what he would do, like how the gargoyle would only mate with one and that they would live forever with that one. You know, the kind of information that would make the difference between a good story and a great story. Background is what he called it. Detail was what he wanted in his stories. He would insist on detail. Sometimes his stories would start off with the gargoyle being a baby and then sometimes it would start with the grown ones, but he always made sure we knew everything about the monster. Every once in a while my sister and I would sneak down to my dad’s office to look at the statue of the gargoyle. We would always make sure the light was on because we did not want to go down there in the dark. It was too scary on a regular basis let alone with that gargoyle down there. Soon it became an obsession to go down and see the gargoyle. Everything was working out. The statue was in the basement and mom couldn’t see it anymore. We would often race down the stairs to see who could get down there first to turn the light on. As I said, everything was going great until this one night that we raced down the stairs to the light. I got there first. As I turned the corner to get to the switch, I thought I saw something move. Well I figured it was just me and turned the light on. Everything was where it should be, so no big deal. I must of just made a mistake. We didn’t really look and check where everything went. The statue was all we were looking at anyway. Later I asked my sister if she had seen anything move. She said no, why? Telling her that I had seen something move was the wrong thing to do. Now she was scared to go down there. She asked me at least a thousand times, what did you see? What did you see? Even after telling her over and over that I made a mistake, she wouldn’t go down. Then one night she grabs me by the arm and wants me to go down stairs with her. She wants to see if the statue had moved. So, we both started down the stairs, no running, no racing to the bottom. We were not in any hurry to turn the light on this time, but we slowly walked down there and she turned on the light. In her pocket she had a magnifying glass. She looked like Sherlock Holmes over there looking all over this statue. Not touching the statue, just looking at the top and the bottom. The look on her face was pure determination. She wanted to know if this thing had moved or not. Me, I was just looking around the room at all the other stuff dad had. All of a sudden her face turns solid white and she says to me, this thing has moved. I walked over to her and she points down at the moisture off the glass of water that dad have left on his desk. The water had been soaked up by the base of the statue. She says that this was not there yesterday when she was down here with dad. Someone had moved this statue. She was sure of it. I told her that dad must have moved it before he left. Then she told me that she was with dad when he walked out yesterday leaving for Chicago and that he left as soon as they got back upstairs. A deep chill came all over me and just about the time I was beginning to think that maybe I had seen something, the lights go out and the door shuts…
