Forbidden

I give to you the latest snippet picking up from Olivia in eleventy-one words...

(See Reincarnated for other posts in the series.)

‘What were you talking about?’ Olivia’s mother interrogated.

‘Nothing important,’ Olivia answered airily.

‘It sounded important.’

‘It wasn’t.’

‘Nothing about reincarnation?’

‘That’s a forbidden topic, mother,’ her words dripped with sarcasm.

‘Hasn’t stopped you in the past.’

‘Well, I guess I’ve learned my lesson.’

‘I don’t appreciate your tone.’

‘Right back atcha, mother.’

‘So… you won’t be going to Charlotte’s tonight.’

Olivia forgot her current self momentarily, ‘I’m a grown-ass woman, bitch.’

Her mother smirked. ‘No, you’re not.’ At that, she returned to the house.

‘Wow,’ Charlotte exclaimed, ‘Are you okay?’

‘Perfect,’ she answered through gritted teeth.

‘Really?’

‘I’m going to find them.’

‘What? Who?’

‘I’m going to find my kids.’
