TBT - Week of November 14, 1984. I remember it like it was - TopicsExpress



          

TBT - Week of November 14, 1984. I remember it like it was yesterday. I had recently crossed over the Mississippi River into Arkansas. The weather was getting increasingly colder and my tent was getting frozen every night. It had rained the night before and my tent was already wet so I looked for alternative lodging, somewhere that would get me out of the damp dew that froze on my tent. I found it in an old abandoned house described here: Ill probably lie here tonight during my 2 or 3 hours of awake time and wonder what kind of family or families have lived here. I am staying tonight in what I assume to be an old sharecroppers shack. It is a tiny 4 room building with an outhouse in the back. It is deserted with all the windows broken out. The next night, I recounted in my journal the harrowing night in the shack. I realized that I was not the only one in the house. The place was alive with mice, rats, and possum. I could hear them scurrying all over the floor night where I slept. I caught their reflecting eyes with the swath of my flashlight.
