The Secret Part One

"Damn, look at this picture Kim...Grandma was fine! She was 18!"

"VELMA, 1954"

"Who is that she's holding?"

"Looks like Mama, Uncle Uglas wasn't born yet"

(Laughter)

"Kim, u just won't give Uncle Douglas a break!

"Hell. Naw. Girl u know he the ugliest child grandma had!"

"Yea, he never liked her, I wonder why?"

"Probably cause he was born ugly!"

"Meka, u remember Mama said he was telling people the whole time they were growing up that Grandma wasn't his Mama! He was adopted!" (Laughing)

"Ooh look at this picture of Grandma! She had lost weight...'VELMA I WILL ALWAYS LOVE U'

"Ain't this Grandma handwriting? Why would she write this to herself?"

"I don't know but we need to hurry, we will never pack all this shit. I remember playing up here when we were kids, Donnie was here with us, those were the days girl."

"Yep, I miss them."

"Oh look, here's Pawpaw's dog tags!"

"Shit look at that picture! He was handsome. This was before he went blind."

"Girl let him tell it he was handsome until he died!"

(Laughter)

"Ima really miss him..."

"Too bad Grandma don't know he gone..."

"Meka, she loved that man, if she don't know nothing else she know he not here no moe."

(Sad)

"Man fuck dementia"

"They acted like they hated each other! All them years together. He got that settlement from the drugstore for the bad bottle of Visine so she didn't have to work she just was never happy."

"Oh wow, look at this old article!"

'FRIDAY JANUARY 13th 1956'

"Damn exactly 57 years ago...aint today the 13th?"

"At 6:45 pm witness say that Velma and Thelma Myers were travelling West on Hwy 83 when Velma lost control of the Ford Model A, she was pronounced dead on the scene."

LOOK AT THE PICTURE OF THIS CAR! ITS CRUSHED!

'Sole Survivor Thelma Myers escaped with minor injuries. Doctors said it was a miracle she'd even escaped alive only suffering from a bruised right side. There were no life threatening injuries..."

"How the fuck...wait, so unh unh. Let me think for a second."

"Thelma?"

"Meka, this is saying Grandma had a twin, Grandma is Velma and she aint dead. This article is from Mississippi and not Georgia. She never mentioned living in Mississippi, or a twin"

"No but Pawpaw said he met her when he was stationed in Mississippi and when he went blind they moved here with Mama and Uncle Douglas. In 1958.

"We need to ask Grandma."

"Good Luuucck!!"

"Well Kim we gotta ask somebody! What about Uncle Douglas?"

"He catatonic bitch, how he know! He got brain damage! U know he was in the accident with Grandma, a week after Donnie got scalded.

Girl put this shit back and lets get the fuck out of this dusty ass attic, I need a blunt."

"I wanna smoke so, bad...Josh has a nose like a hound."

"Ok. WAIT, look at all these letters! They so old, but this one is dated Friday January 13th 2013...

(Opening letter)

"Its Grandma's handwriting!"

"Dear Velma, I keep u near and dear to my heart. As I've grown, I realized how much I've missed u since that rainy night. I am so sorry, we were the same I miss u dearly. When U found Benny, I felt like I had lost everything. I could not allow u to move from Mississippi and leave me behind. I know u are in Heaven, I pray God gives u back what I've taken from u. The mole is a reminder of who I really am. I didn't want him to see me with his eyes, but with his heart." Love Thelma

"OH MY GOD!!!"

"WAIT A MUTHAFUCKIN MINUTE!"

"What mole though? Grandma, doesn't have a mole!"

"Yes she does..."

"Unh Unnnh, where?"

"On the inside of her thigh..."

"Come on lets go see, I need to leave anyway...its almost 7."

"Turn off the light."

"Bitch how we gone do that, just take my word..."
