#AtoZChallenge F is for Facsimile

Facsimile

Picture

  • An exact copy or reproduction, as of a document; exactly reproduced; duplicate
[Latin fac simile, make simiar : fac, imperative of facere, to make; see dhē- in Indo-European roots + simile,neuter of similis, similar]

“Mom!” Sandy bounced through the door, her strawberry blonde hair swinging back and forth. Delight lit her sky blue eyes. She laid down a piece of paper on the kitchen table. “Mom, I passed!”

Cassandra picked up the paper, smiling proudly. “Great job Honey. We’ll have to celebrate tonight.”

“Oh, can we go to Pizza Place?”

“Anywhere you want.”

Sandy squealed then skipped to her room.

Cassandra remained motionless. The smile felt frozen on her face and tears stung her eyes. She couldn’t do it. She couldn’t fake it. That facsimile wasn’t her daughter and couldn’t replace her.


PS: I'm looking for victims to enslave for book two in my Path of Angels series. Any tributes?

So who is Sandy? Mom is going to crack any day with this secret, I think.
