Honey
I’m not a con artist anymore, and I’m not going to con anyone today. I’m
just going to ask for a favor. If I have to use some of my skills of
persuasion, that’s not the same thing as conning someone.
My gut twists, calling me out as a liar. Anything that uses my old skills
feels wrong these days. Even if I’m doing it for the best of reasons.
The small cottage in front of me, surrounded by forest on all sides, with
a narrow gravel drive and one lone SUV parked in front, is silent and still.
Even the two ceramic gnomes, both with red hats, blue shirts, and smiling
sweetly, on the front stoop seem to hold their non-existent breath.
It looks exactly like the sort of place a person who likes to dress as
Bigfoot would choose. There’s a gingerbread, fairy tale feel to it, with ivy
growing up the side and a stone exterior. It could have been built in the
nineteen thirties or two weeks ago.
It’s got a timelessness about it that makes it hard to place.
The blinds are up, giving me a clear view inside, but there’s no sign of
movement. If Bigfoot is home, they’re probably watching TV or doom
scrolling on their phone.
Maybe they’re bored and will want to help me out of the goodness of
their heart. Maybe I won’t even have to flatter and persuade them.
I have no idea what to think of someone who enjoys dressing up like
Bigfoot and scaring hikers. Is kindness even possible? Or could I be just the
kind of person a Bigfoot impersonator would love to torment?
A memory of groping hands and angry hissed words slashes through my
calm, but I stuff it back down where it belongs. That happened once,
because I let down my guard and forgot how dangerous humans can be. I
forget how angry a person can get when they realize they’ve been played. It
only lasted a moment. My father rescued me and I was fine. But I’ll never
forget the fury in that man’s eyes.
I’m smarter now. No one will ever corner me again.
And I’m not conning Bigfoot. I’m not.
I’m just asking for a favor, and there’s no reason Bigfoot should get mad
about that. No is a complete answer.
Not that I can accept no, but I’m not conning the fluffy beast. I’m not.
Behind me, a branch snaps and leaves crunch. I press my lips together
tight, to keep from screaming in fear, and take three big steps closer to the
cottage.
I don’t know who’s been dressing up as Bigfoot, but I know they’re
friends with my sister Clover and her boyfriend Asher, so they have to be
safer than whatever is in the forest.
Right?
My heart pounds with fear, and I swallow hard. I’m not a con artist
anymore, but maybe Bigfoot will be more willing to help if I lean into my
fear. Everyone loves a sweet, submissive woman who needs the help of
someone big and strong, right?
