She noticed a slip of paper on the floor by the baseboard. Written on the paper was a date: January 1, 1972. Below the date in her mother's hand were nine words.
"I resolve to accept that she is not human."
Wiping away a tear with the tip of her scaly tail, Denise pondered what the cryptic resolution could mean.
