The Man Who Burned Me Alive in My Past Life Was Also Reborn Novel by Fitzgerald Mitchell

BOOK1 Chapter2

Mrs. Quinn wanted to say something more.

“Sarah, actually Joshua and Emily are…”

But before she could finish, Joshua’s phone call interrupted her.

“Mom, why aren’t you home? I’m bringing Emily home for dinner tonight. Where are you?”

Mrs. Quinn glanced at me, her eyes flickering.

“I’m at Sarah’s. I’ll ask Sarah to drive me back later, and she can stay for dinner too.”

Joshua’s voice suddenly rose on the other end of the phone.

“Sarah Thompson? Why did you go to her? She’s a vicious woman, she keeps trying to undermine Emily behind my back! Did she say something bad about Emily to you again?”

Mrs. Quinn’s face was flushed with embarrassment. She waved goodbye to me and hurried away, her voice on the phone too low for-me to hear.

I didn’t bother to listen..

I went straight back to my room, lay down on the soft bed, emptied my mind, and savored the joy of being reborn.

I fell into a deep sleep.

I was awakened by a nightmare.

In the dream, I once again felt the agonizing pain of scorching flames devouring my skin. I saw Mrs. Quinn and Joshua calmly taking out their phones to call the police after confirming I was beyond saving.

I saw my parents rushing back, holding my charred body and crying their hearts out.

When I woke up, tears streamed down my face, soaking my pillow.
