This week’s prompt is: “He didn’t understand what he’d done to her, but he would by the time she was finished.”
This one was admittedly tricky for me because I don’t generally enjoy revenge tales. The character needs something else besides that to get me through a whole story with them. So this is my twist on it 🙂
He didn’t understand what he’d done to her, but he would by the time she was finished. Her fingers shook with rage. And still she was able to savagely, meticulously, snap each and every one of his crayons.
He would know the pain. Balance could be restored to daycare.
Her four-year old mind flashed to the image of him, holding scissors. And a single golden lock tumbling from her doll to crash silently on the floor.
The memory made her reach for his glue stick and toss away the cap. Never would he unthinkingly wield those tools of destruction again.
