A robber is robbed of undeserved freedom. Opportunistic corporate climber who's stepped on one neck too many gets to the top rung of the glory ladder only to slip and crash to Earth? The pride of an arrogant prick is starved of food that nourishes his enormous ego. A high school bully is reported and expelled. A troublemaker finally picks on the wrong bull and gets the horns. Karma, baby! Ain't it a marvelous thing? Justice -- Word of the Year, Old or New Sponsored by Carolyn Devonshire (Winner: 3rd Place) Date written and posted: 12/19/2018

Nice one---and I do just LOVE it!! (although it's probably revenge, as opposed to 'justice). Congrats on your win in the contest, my friend. Season's best, Gershon
