PART THREE
Petey's petite frame was somewhat shsiken by the
encounter; hence, he staggered from the bedroom
toward the bathroom where he assuaged his battered
body and quenched his parched throat In the water
closet.
The battle with the bird angered Frank so much that

he forgot about Aunt Nellie. A rush of tear filled his
mind as he considered the possibility of having
awakened her, he slowly turned around. Sweat began to
roll down his legs as he blankly stared at Nellie who stlU
rested quietly.
"I got to have two more pills," Frank whined. "ITils
dum night's terrible." Almost crying. "I get rat-
trapped, scalded, and attacked by a parakeet. Ain't
worth It. Where's my pills?"
I Breathing heavily, Frank gulped his last two pills.
Within an hour's time he had taken six pills, and the
effects of the overdosage were soon to stultify his
behavior.
As Frank stood beside the bed, he noted a slight
dizziness. His pupils were now dilated; In addition,
everything quadrupled In size as he perceived It.
Nevertheless, he Ignored this appsu'ent distortion of
vision and bent over Aunt Nellie to snatch the pouch.
Just as he placed his hand on the pouch, a sudden cry
bellowed out of Nellie. Frank leaped back In a state of
utter terror. Aunt Nellie rolled out of bed and grabbed
her rifle, thrusting Its barrel up Frank's tight nostril.
After cocking the rifle, she yelled, “Jimmy Maybell!
You low down snail, you two-timin’ froghead, you un
faithful halfbreed. I caught you! You figured you'd
sneak In without me knowing It.”
At this point, she began to screw the barrel up
Frank's nostril while continuing her tirade.
"Where have you been? Don’t tell me you had to work
late. You bow-legged skunk. I can smell that foreign
perfume on you! I see that mused up hair!! Your pants
are all wrinkled, and you’ve got ruby red lipstick on
your lips!!! ”
ITie lipstick was blood because Frank, scarred out of
his wits, had bit his lower Up. The whites of his eyes had
streaks of red in them. His knees were knocking, and
his toes were twisting about In his shoes. He shook his
head franUcgiUy In. the negative as he retorted, "No
mam, I ain’t your husband. I'm Frank Barrows.”
"You're Frank Barrows, ha! Is that what you teU her
your name Is?” snarled Nellie.
"Mrs. Maybell, I ain’t your husband!”
"I know you’re an adulterous husband!”
"Mam, 1 ain't no adulterer. I’m a thief.”
"Yes Ue, lie, lie. You've been to see that June Cole
agin. Well this Is the last time.”
"Mam, I ain’t your husband” Frank cried In despair.
"I'm going to end your adulterous ways this very
night. Prepare to meet your Maker!” quipped Aunt
NelUe.
ITiough Frank was considerably drugged, he was
nimble enough to knock the rifle from NeUle’s hands
and run down the haU toward the bathroom. On his way
his right toot discovered a slipper, which NeUle had
supposedly lost. This slippery slipper lay In the middle
of the hall, and after the discovery, Frsuik found himself
sliding on his belly Into the bathroom. Thump! Frank
hit the water closet head first.
“Ouch! Oh, gosh! Oooo uuck!", hollered Frank.
Meanwhile, Nellie fired four warning shots and
screamed, "Jimmy, your time has come. Those dsirUn'
chariots are gettln’ ready to take you to the Sweet Bye
'n Bye.”
Raising himself from the floor, Frank managed to
turn the light on In the bathroom and looked In the
mirror. A careful examination of his forehead was In
order, but Frank, befuddled by the pills, could not focus
his eyes on the lump which continued to swell. At last
his eyes began to focus; however, to him, his facial
features looked gigantic. He thought his eyes resembled
large white eggs, with stripes of red criss-crossing
about the pupils. And, It seemed to him that his nose had
transformed Into a deformed elephant's trunk.
Terrified at his appearance, he noticed something
stranger than himself on his tight shoulder. He whipped
his around, and as he saw It, there was a yellow and
green vulture perching on hla shoulder.
"Heeelp!" Frank shrieked, "I got a dab-bum yeller
and green vulture on me!"
Ihrashlng his hands through the air and twisting his
shoulders, Frank managed to shake Petey off. A swift
exit was made frcxn the bathroom, ho$vever, the retreat
ended In a collision with NeUle. Both sprawled on the
floor, and Nellie fired two shots before Mie landed.
By now, Frank was paranoid. Every ounce of energy
had been almost expended; stlU, he weakly crawled off
of Nellie and darted to the Uvlng room. A blood curdling
noise blared throughout the house as he screamed,
"Help me somebody! I got something on my back! ”
Frank pulled the cat from his back and held It to his
face then blurted, "A painther! She's got a panther In
her house.” With these exclamations, Frank threw the
cat at the television, then started toward the front door.
The cat struck the push button on the set, which turned
Hon. At this particular time there was a war picture on
the late night movie, and Frank suddenly heard the fire
of cannons. He cried out, “Oh, wUl no one help me!"
After wheeling and turning about In the Uvlng room, he
shot through the front door. Unfortunately, he failed to
avoid the hole In the front porch. Bam! All at once, he
felt a needle-Ilke pain In his leg. While feeling for his
leg. the pain suddenly Jumped from his leg to his hand.
He withdrew his hand with the dog icUnglng to It.
"Help, HeeeUlpp! Somebody help me! I've got shot at
by a cannon, attacked by a vulture, ambushed by a
panther, and now I got a dab-burn wolf chewing my
hand off!"
WeU, our whole family, along with everyone else In
the neighborhood was up. My father caUed the police;
then hurried to Aunt NelUe's. He discovered Frank
Barrows, moaning and groaning, face down In the front
ysLTd. Aunt NelUe, according to my father, was asleep In
the hall with the rifle by her side, and the pets were
quietly resting at their nightly posltlona, except for
Petey, who was found sleeping In the lavatory.
