Voice

The voice was wonderful, it told her everything she needed to know.

When her mother needed help in the kitchen, despite her being only eleven, she would very quickly slice the carrots to just the right thickness. This sort of thing had always impressed her mother. The voice told her how to do it. At school, her teacher was amazed at her ability to solve maths problems almost instantly. The voice, of course. Then there was the time her father was working under the bonnet of the car trying to figure out what was wrong with the fan heater’s wiring. She hopped in and rerouted several wires and got it going. He said she was a natural. The voice, again.

Although she was probably far too young to understand the full potential of what was happening to her, or what this incredible gift was enabling her to do so perfectly, she only knew that it was extremely useful.

After all, that’s how she made the annoying boy across the road disappear… forever!
