The Bar: A Fictional Narrative
When we approached the bar, there was only one stool available. I told Dawn that she could sit down, but she insisted that I have the stool. Maybe she didn’t want to sit her bare ass on the cold seat. I wasn’t sure, and I didn’t ask her why because the other bartender handed Dawn a shot and she gave me one also. We downed the shot with ease and swallowed another before I remembered that Shay was waiting for me.
“Dawn, how do you get to the deejay booth?”
“Do you see those stairs?” She asked as she pointed to a corner near the bar.
“Yeah. I see them.”
“Okay. Take those stairs and make a left at the top. Are you Shay’s girlfriend or something?”

My heart almost exploded on my chest with as she moved closer to me. When she shimmied her double D's in my face, I tossed more money up on the stage and so did the men that were standing around me. I couldn’t believe that all the attention was on us as a spotlight fell on top of my head. After I had thrown the last few dollars that were in the bucket I was holding, I dropped it on the floor.
Since I didn’t have any more money to throw, I didn’t know what was about to happen. That’s when Dawn walked off the stage and took me by the hand. I was so nervous that I thought I was going to pass out. The crowd roared even louder as she grabbed a chair from a table. I grinned from ear to ear as I followed her onto the stage. When she put the chair down, she pushed me down in the chair and started giving me a

    My mom’s words really meant a lot to me, but I didn’t have time to thank her for them because the announcer was announcing the final couple of the night. I gave her a quick hug and went to meet Macy. She looked even more beautiful than she had in the store and I couldn’t think of any girl I would rather be with at that moment. We complemented each other perfectly, in looks and personalities. Macy was the only girl for me and it was pretty clear I was the only man she needed as well. We met at the top of the stairs and quickly whispered an “I love you” as the announcer began talking about our lives. By the time the announcer had finished I didn’t want it to be over, but I knew the night could only get…

    She asked me what my name was and I replied,” Roger”. Then she told me to go wash my face. She left the door right open I thought I could make a run for it, but I didn’t want to put myself in any more danger. The lady got up and left the room only looking at her purse. She said her name was Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones. I was amazed by how long her name was but I had no time to think about that. I took care to sit on the other side of the room so she wouldn’t suspect anything. Then she heated some lima beans and ham she had in her icebox. I had to admit I was starving. She also made some cocoa. As we ate dinner she said,” Now, here, take this ten dollars and buy yourself some blue suede shoe.” Then she led me down the hall and I didn’t know what to say. As I walked out the door she told me goodnight and to be safe, but I didn’t say anything back. No words can explain how grateful I am for her to do the things for me. Then she shut the door. I was relieved when I got home. Man… What a…

    "What an audience we have out here!" The man nervously. Clearing his voice again, he started the show. "The story that is going to be told to you tonight, will somewhat be fascinating, bone-chilling, hysterical..... I could come up with much more descriptions for this, but I'd rather not. At that, the man left the stage. Then a woman came up into the light. She was short about five feet, maybe. Her black hair glistened in the light, and her eyes carefully moved across the room.
