When Olivia was eight, she... «Gallant»
nitanaell2 апреля 2022When Olivia was eight, she decided she would live forever. It was a strange whim, sprouting up like a weed one day between her thoughts. Perhaps it was after the cat by the shed, or when she realized that her father was gone, that her mother was never coming back. Perhaps it was when one of the younger girls took ill, or when the head matron made them sit on the stiff wooden pews and learn of martyrs. She doesn’t exactly remember when she had the thought. Only that she had it. That at some point, she simply decided that other things might die, but she would not. It seemed sound enough. After all, Olivia had always been a stubborn girl.
