Timberwood: Short Stories Edition Vol. 17
The former Timberwood cult members, who left & deprogrammed, organized a healing support group meeting. Mr. Tim was hosting the meeting in place of his deceased brother, Mr. Tharen, Sr. The meetings just weren't the same anymore. The chosen topic was, "Memories That We Miss". Mr. Tim wanted to do a different spin on the meetings & asked the members about a topic on any positive memories about their experiences. Mrs. Vanessa feared that if they talked about the positive aspects of Timberwood, then some of the former members might relapse & want to go back. Or that some of the people listening in on the meeting might feel enticed to want to join.
Everyone was talking about memories of the now deceased former members that they miss. Cory Stanford put his head down & softly said said, "Even though my mom recently passed away, due to complications from the COVID shot, & we weren't close, I still miss her. She died because Timberwood is now forcing everybody to get that shot. I warned her against joining, & she joined anyway. She ruined my marriage. She got my wife & children to join. My wife was ordered to divorce me & keep me away from my kids because I wouldn't budge. & I STILL won't budge! They're onboard with the New World Order. My cousin Kristina told me all about it."
Kristina snapped like a turtle, pouting & folding her arms, yelling, "Count me OUT of this conversation because I don't have ANYTHING good to say about this so-called 'organization'! I keep telling y'all that Timberwood is just another sex slave cult!"
Loriano laughed & asked everybody, "Do y'all remember when we used to compare Tony Henson to Tupac?"
Cornelius chimed in & said, "That was AFTER we already got out, though." He continued on, saying, "My boy Matthew Barry Castillo..." Then, he broke down & burst into tears, saying, "They KILLED my best friend!" & he kept repeating it several times. He was almost inconsolable. He had to be escorted out of the room until after he calmed down & gathered himself back together. The few people, who sent him out, also missed out on more than 1/2 of the 2 hour meeting.
Mr. Tim continued on with the meeting, & people were saying that Matthew's voice sounded like as if a sheep/lamb + Donald Duck, mixed in together, had a deep voice.
Kurl said that he remembers when Tiffany Banquero used to date Mr. Jim Cubbs. He said that Timberwood was down bad (f'ed up) for that. For arranging those 2 to date. He also laughed about how Tharen, Jr. could impersonate Mr. Jim Cubbs so well. Timberwood, with their eugenics mentality, faked Mr. Jim Cubbs's death because of him being Jamaican, elderly & disabled.
At the meeting, Tharen, Jr. impersonated Mr. Jim sniffing random women's butts curling his lips up, saying, "Hay, voovay! (Hey, baby!) People were spitting out their coffee, laughing, choking on their food, laughing & everything. Some people fell out of their chairs, laughing, feeling like their organs hurt, & like they were spilling their guts, laughing so hard.
Jessica blushed, laughing & saying, "Girl, NO he didn't!"
Kurl said in his deep voice & slow-paced Mississippi country lisp, "Yeah, man! Mr. Jim Cubbs used to like to sniff my sister Teresa's butt! I mean, as far as the women, who's ass DIDN'T he sniff?"
Sherayna (Shuh-RAY-nuh) said that she remembers when her cousin (Matthew's niece), Brittany was 5 years old & got punished for going into the kitchen, making messy peanut butter & jelly sandwiches & then put all the sandwiches back inside of the bread loaf bag & tied it up.
Kurl said that that reminded him of when Toury's daughter Megan was about 4 years old & shaved off Teresa's hair. Taschika laughed & said how, right after Kristina gave birth to the twins, Tristan & Kharen, her (Taschika's) daughter Zoe did Kristina the same thing. Zoe cut Kristina's hair all off, & she (Zoe, Taschika's daughter) cut Tharen, Jr.'s cousin Wyndale's (Pronounced similar to wen-DELL) dreadlocks off. They reminisced, talking about how badly behaved & out of control the children were.
Kristina chimed in & said, "It was just a cry out for help because of the MK Ultra mind control abuse that they've had to endure. Britney Spears wasn't a child, but remember what she did back in 2007? Same thing. Remember Amanda Bynes & her breakdown?"
Tharen, Jr.'s son Jamaal felt ashamed. He apologized for when he was about 5 or 6 years old & stabbed Kristina with a fork. He sorrowfully admitted that he was 1 of those bad ass kids!
Everyone was reminiscing on how Mrs. Vanessa used to be able to do fancy, unique hairstyles, like styling people's hair like flowers & stuff like that.
They ended up reminiscing on both the good & bad. Funny & sad.
Cornelius & the crew came back in the room. He said that he remembers Taschika's deceased ex-husband Ronald telling him about how Timberwood used to sound like military drill sergeants nagging him about cutting his hair. Ronald just kept growing his hair long. He also said how Ronald told him that when he was 17 & 1st joined Timberwood, that 1 of the staff members yanked the fried chicken out of his hand & mouth when he was in the middle of eating. He said that his tooth almost got knocked out. Cornelius also said that he remembers Ronald laughing about how, at 17, he was crying with the food in his mouth during the incident. Crying like a baby.
Cornelius said that Matthew was the one who put him on game about how things weren't adding up with Timberwood. & Kristina researched & helped everybody have a better understanding & put all the pieces together to break free & leave. He credits Kristina for saving his life & showing him how to lose weight. He nearly died from a life-threatening health condition that he suffered, due to obesity. He said that he was able to naturally reverse congestive heart failure that he shamefully kept secret for years. Other people lost weight, eating naturally, as well.
Sabrina said that she didn't miss being gang raped & tortured every day, but she misses the dances, parties & romance night.
It was finally time for the meeting to end, & people were begging to stay longer because they said that the stories were getting juicy.
THE END
