To Winnemucca on Friday the 13th

This evening, my wife and I will embark on a "research" journey to Winnemucca, NV, which I described in a previous post, "Road Trip to Winnemucca." Interestingly, it wasn't until this morning that I realized our trip would begin on Friday the 13th. My only excuses, I suppose, for not noticing this significant and important detail much earlier than this morning is that I've been busy working on a poem about the Mandalay Bay tragedy, and then this week, distracted with the Northern California fires that have been close to us and many of our friends. During this trip to Winnemucca, if I can't find the dark, ominous feeling I had experienced years ago, or trap and bring home the entity, or dare I say, "demon," responsible for that feeling of dread, then I will have failed an apparently easy task! Because, there’s every indication (my recent project, the firestorm, and Friday the 13th) that everything I’m hoping to see or “feel” will practically seek me out.
