Storm In Revenge

She walked hurriedly back home, her dress drenched. It hardly mattered. Her eyes sparked wild red. Her face was deadly pale, soul sick, fists clenched. Outside the mad storm raged but she felt dead. She sat on a sofa facing the door, She barely heard the wild thunder booming, Nor cared as dark clouds gathered from the shore, Despite the storm he would come back blooming. He was that type of skunk, no truth in him, She should have been much wiser, now too late. All her lovely dreams had grown deadly dim. He'd keep his secret tryst that spelt his fate. He came staggering drunk, rumpled torn vest, She looked steadily, shot him thrice with zest.

I did not see that ending coming, Victor. It reminds me of the song, 'Frankie and Johnny.' An outstanding narrative.

torm inside and out. What a calculated act of revenge. He must have been too nasty that she couldn't put up with him. But can her act be justified? She could have walked away leaving him to his doom. Powerful portrayal dear Victor.

Well done with the turn in ending, Victor. He sure deserved it. Such is the story of lovers scorned.

Wow, Victor! Quite the storm! We can feel it - so tangible. Hers was the eye of the storm. The things around us seem to disappear at times. What appeared before “the skunk” was the full force of his betrayal. You are a great storyteller! Hugs ~ Kim

He's lucky the only thing she shot him with was zest. Wondering what he did to offend her so deeply. Allowing the reader to use his imagination is well presented, Victor.
