Violet’s husband, George, hated her live-in sister’s parrot, Bobo. Violet hated the animal too, who cursed most vilely. George had sworn an oath to kill it someday.
Three years slipped by after George’s untimely death, but since then a falcon took up residence. Each afternoon she could see the shadow of it, a waiting sentinel. Violet often wondered if George had reincarnated. Silly perhaps, but she couldn’t help the persistent feeling.
One day, Bobo escaped the house. Mere seconds passed before the falcon swooped in and pinned down the squawking bird, violently yanking out colorful feathers.
Violet smiled, “Good boy, George.”

If only I could get away with a similar course of action. Reincarnated as a silent killer to strafe my tormentors.

Who’s to say it hasn’t already happened? Perhaps just waiting for the right moment to pounce? 😉
