Soul Music (1995)
“I CANNOT BE BIDDEN. I CANNOT BE FORCED. I WILL ONLY DO THAT WHICH I KNOW TO BE RIGHT . . .
Susan crept along behind the shelves of lifetimers. No one noticed her. When you are watching Death fight, you don’t notice shadows in the background.
They’d never told her about this. Parents never do. Your father could be Death’s apprentice and your mother Death’s adopted daughter, but that’s just fine detail when they become Parents. Parents were never young. They were merely waiting to become ...Parents.
Susan reached the end of the shelves.
Death was standing over her father . . . she corrected herself, the boy who would be her father.
Three red marks burned on his cheek where Death had struck him. Susan raised a hand to the pale marks on her own face.
But that’s not how heredity works.
At least . . . the normal kind . . .MoreLess
