Conversation

1. Mom sold my diary to Reverb podcast??
2. She what—your childhood diary?
3. They posted a teaser: 'family tape inside'.
4. I heard a thirty-second clip and almost threw up.
5. Clip said 'it was me, not Laurie,' right?
6. Yes and caption: 'Sunday episode will shock our town'.
7. Mom DM'ed the host 'full tape attached, thanks'.
8. She attached a tape? Where even does she have tapes?
9. My cousin screenshotted the DM with a timestamp.
10. Send the screenshot right now.
11. Uploading—it's blurry but you can read it.
12. Host replied: 'Episode ready Sunday, payment sent'.
13. She sold our family for money?
14. Why Sunday when the family reunion is?
15. They used a reunion photo in the episode art.
16. So they'll air it while we're all together?
17. This is deliberate; that's not an accident.
18. Also someone's in comments naming Mark and Laurie.
19. Did Mom tell them about Uncle Mark?
20. She hasn't answered my calls either.
21. Wait the teaser shows a handwritten note close-up.
22. That's my handwriting.
23. What do you mean 'your handwriting'?
24. It's my childhood scrawl on the paper in the clip.
25. The audio overlay is a woman's voice with a child's whisper.
26. That whisper said 'I did it'.
27. You never confessed to anything as a kid, did you?
28. This is worse: Mom wrote 'confession recorded' in the DM.
29. She sent the tape last night and cashed a transfer today.
30. The confession isn't hers—it's my twelve-year-old voice.
