The topic: “A young woman confronts her parents after discovering she has inherited telekinetic powers.”
________________________________

“Were you ever going to tell me?” Jessica Zorn asked lightly as she passed the potatoes to her mother.

Even though she hadn’t lived at home for at least five years now, Jessica always tried to make it for Sunday dinner. Normally it was a much louder and hectic event, but on this night her younger sister was away at some sports training camp so things were quiet. Which suited Jessica perfectly.

“Tell you what, dear?”

“That psychic powers run in the family.”

Her parents froze. Her mother had a spoon full of mashed potatoes midway to her plate and her father had a knife sunk into his steak. Any doubt that her parents knew she would develop supernatural powers disappeared in that instant. The parents who hadn’t batted a lash at her getting arrested for streaking when she was fifteen, or chaining herself to a tree when she was 19, or even when just last year she’d been expelled from yet another college for letting the lab animals free, were now not only speechless, but frozen in position.

“Hello?” She glanced from one to the other. When that got no response she kept talking as if they were having a normal everyday conversation, and not one that would change her life forever. “I found out a couple of days ago that I could move things with my mind. Telekinesis it’s called. I was also told that it’s very likely hereditary. And that got me thinking. I always knew you guys were keeping a secret from me, but I can honestly say I wasn’t expecting something quite like this. I thought maybe you would some day tell me Aunt Rose was really a man or something.”

She forked a piece of meat into her mouth and chewed while she watched her parents, who had at least sat back in their chairs now and were staring at one another intently. When they still hadn’t spoken aloud by the time she finished chewing and swallowing, she lost the light and
easy tone of voice.

“If you’re talking to each other mentally or something, stop it.” She put down her fork and leaned back in her own chair. “I’ve had enough with the secrets in this family and if you two don’t talk to me right now, and tell me what the hell is going on, I’m going to get up, walk out the front door, and never come back.”
