Going Home

My mother was a witch. Burned alive. I was ten. I’d gone to live with relatives in Brazil after that, but when I was twenty-three I flew back. Where my mother was killed.

I went in search of clues. The apartment we’d lived in was still there, a new family occupying it since I’d been dragged away.

The old woman seated on the stoop had smiled. She remembered me. Told me I was as pretty as my mother had been at my age.

I found her broom, dusty, in the basement. I knew what I had to do now. Revenge.
