Wayward Child

Cora always considered herself different. She was always quiet and taking everything in. Calculating in every move she made. She had been born premature by two months. Diagnosed with cerebral palsy at two as well as learning disabilities. But then she was genius in other areas. Her grandfather was a mystery for some reason. The rest of her family was made up of sociopaths, narcissists, etc. Even as a young child, she knew she was different. She was kind, trusting, eager to please. To a fault. The paranormal was normal to her. Her first encounter was as early as five years old and continued in many forms throughout her life. Rather than be afraid, Cora saw these encounters as a privilege. She was granted the gift of seeing things others could not. Other abilities would make themselves known throughout her life. When she reached middle age, she began to research all the occurrences she had experienced and found that she wasn't alone. Digging into her experiences would bring some unwanted, and dangerous attention. But she would learn she had allies in the unlikeliest of places. Some who would make themselves known. Some who had been with her from the very beginning.
