Visit From Jessie

I was going to pick up a pair of blue jeans Found some at the second hands store for eight bucks I could cut strips in them No! An inner voice hollered inside my head. Surprised me, as I was not serious. On my way out a jacket with embroidery caught my eye. It was unique. A gold star, rainbow, pink unicorn, green leprechaun. Hand stitched. Inside in marker someone had written Jessie. I tried it on and it fit me in a great way. Red t-shirt! The voice said. I bought a red t-shirt at the Target across the street. A week later Jessie’s photo came out in a major magazine. She had been missing for over three years. She was wearing my jacket – gold star, rainbow, pink unicorn, green leprechaun. With blue jeans and a red t-shirt. Where are you? I asked. I am fine she told me in a dream that night. I mailed the jacket to the police in San Francisco, hoping they can do something with it. Also hoping my DNA is not on it.
