Tina W. – Part 2

So, I made an email account, calling myself El Lobo, and sent her friend, who turned out to be Tina, a couple of poems. Tina liked them and sent me a couple of her’s. Then Sue told me to ask Tina about her cat dying and some other things that I should not know about. Sue lived next door to Tina at the time. Coupled with that, Tiina thought my poem Stew and Recipe was creepy and started getting scared.

Tina got so scared that she had threatened to call the police. At that point, I demanded that Sue straighten it out. Sue loved the situation and thought it was hilarious. It’s my understanding that once the practical joke was explained, Tina didn’t talk to Sue for a long time. Once Sue made her reveal, I let it go and forgot about it.

Then, on my 50th BD, I got a call from Tina to wish me a happy birthday (I assume that Sue gave her my number). Of course, she was having fun calling me old, senile, geiser, and such. But, we also made a date to go to an art festival in Auroa for the following month. Once we met, we started going places, joined poetry groups, and started walking and biking together. And that continued for the rest of my time living in Ohio.
