Since it\u2019s Halloween season I thought I\u2019d give homage to my pal, Rod. He passed away almost 10 years ago but his memory lives on. He was a lawyer who had so many talents, he played lead guitar, composed music and wrote terrific prose &#8212; he even wrote his own musical play. Halloween season reminds me of Rod because he told the scariest stories. I wanted to share this before but I just didn\u2019t know how to describe it in paper. I figured I\u2019d attempt it now. I welcome your proof reading corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A gathering of wide-eyed friends were huddled around Rodney as he told this original &#8220;true story&#8221; (yeah, right!):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>MARIA&#8217;S WALK HOME<br><\/strong>by Rod G<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maria was on her way home from school. School was located at the East side of the village while Maria\u2019s home was at the other end, on the West the village. In between them was the village cemetery (this is a horror story so of course there had to be a cemetery). Nobody took the shortcut because it would mean passing beside the cemetery. (You know where this is going, right?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"432\" height=\"138\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/RodneyScaryStory1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33049\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/RodneyScaryStory1.jpg 432w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/RodneyScaryStory1-300x96.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 432px) 100vw, 432px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>But this one night \u2026 this one lunar night \u2026 Maria was exhausted from overtime schoolwork. She wanted to go home to relax in her warm comfortable bed. \u201cForget this superstitious warning! I\u2019m going to take the silly shortcut!\u201d<em> (Oh noooo!)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maria walked alone under the late evening moon. The claps of her wooden sandals echoed with the crickets and frogs of the night. As she approached the entrance of the cemetery, something moved. It was an old shrouded woman sitting quietly on the ground and counting white pebbles. Maria glanced over her shoulder. It was too late to walk back. She had to move forward. She walked cautiously as she passed the woman. But that\u2019s when the woman noticed her and stopped counting. Maria couldn\u2019t look at the woman\u2019s face because it was covered with the shroud but when she looked down at the pebbles \u2026 they weren\u2019t pebbles. They were human bones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cScreeeam!!!\u201d <\/strong><em>Pitter-patter! Pitter-patter!<\/em> &#8212; went Maria as she dashed for home. Her wooden sandals flew in the air as she ran barefooted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"432\" height=\"138\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/RodneyScaryStory2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33050\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/RodneyScaryStory2.jpg 432w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/RodneyScaryStory2-300x96.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 432px) 100vw, 432px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The faster she ran, the faster the footsteps behind her. The woman covered her face with her left hand but she swatted furiously to grab Maria with her right hand. Wooosh! Wooosh! Wooosh!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCome here!\u201d Wooosh! \u201cCome here!\u201d Wooosh!<em> Pitter-patter! Pitter-patter!<\/em> &#8212; went the woman behind her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Up ahead, just a hundred yards away, Maria could see the light from her home. \u201cMama help me! Mama help me!!\u201d Maria shrieked in terror. Maria doubled the pace \u2026 but so did the old woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then Maria heard \u201cWooosh &#8211; Wooosh!\u201d Pitter-patter! Pitter-patter! \u201cWooosh &#8211; Wooosh!\u201d Pitter-patter! Pitter-patter! \u201cWooosh &#8211; Wooosh!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two hands were now closing in. The shroud no longer covered the face. The snarling face was haggard and wrinkled with sharp and dirty teeth that matched her sharp and dirty fingernails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cScreeeam!!!\u201d<em>Pitter-patter! Pitter-patter! \u201c<\/em>Mama! Mama!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wooosh &#8211; Wooosh! Wooosh &#8211; Wooosh! Wooosh &#8211; Wooosh! Wooosh &#8211; Wooosh!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s odd,\u201d thought Maria, \u201cthere\u2019s something different with the sound. What happened to the <em>Pitter-patter! Pitter-patter!?!?<\/em> \u2026 Oh no! \u2026 it can\u2019t be! \u2026 the old woman&#8217;s feet no longer touched the ground. The witch was<strong> AIRBORNE! <\/strong>Screeeeeeeeeeeeeam!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that was the end of the story. And all my angry friends knocked Rod off his chair. We laughed because we knew he made it all up but we enjoyed being scared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\">I loved Rod. Despite his brilliance, Rod lived a troubled life. I felt his pain. He was a proud and stubborn man. Prayed for him for years. When I shared the Gospel with him, he thought I was trapping him and was not open to new teachings. He was very defensive. Who was I to preach to a lawyer? He planned to come and visit me in California and he bragged about it and I was thrilled to be able to spend more time with him. But that opportunity never came.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My cousin called me. Rod had a stroke so I dropped everything and took a flight to be by his deathbed. That&#8217;s how important this was to me. The apostle Paul reminded us that <strong>&#8220;it is by faith and not of works that one is saved&#8221;<\/strong> so I prayed with him just in case there was still some cognitive activity. They pulled the plug two days after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks Rod for the jokes, the Halloween stories \u2026 the memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a good Halloween weekend my friends. TGIF!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Raoul<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Joke of the Week<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\"

He is an artist turned businessman who runs WYNK Marketing and dabbles in illustration, graphic design, web design and marketing campaigns. When he isn\u2019t out doing any of that, he seeks refuge in his cave and turns out his Friday Joke mailing known as Raoul\u2019s TGIF Jokes. People from all over the world send him jokes and Raoul sends those jokes back with his original sketches. Some of his cartoons grace the pages of Traveling Boy. He enjoys traveling but, more than the places, he enjoys the people he meets. One day he hopes to fulfill his promise to his wife \u2014 to bring her to Italy and the rest of Europe.","sameAs":["http:\/\/travelingboy.com"],"url":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/author\/tboyadmin\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33038","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33038"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33038\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33058,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33038\/revisions\/33058"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33051"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33038"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33038"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33038"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
