This one had me sniggering - we have all had revenge fantasies at one point or other in our relationships - or am I moving in the wrong circles? Congratulations, Janice, with your second-place win in my "For the story ..." contest. You were one of the few poets who read the full contest description: text and the visual prompt that lent its name to the contest..

Suzette, thanks a million for sponsoring and for my win. I am thrilled! My real-life fantasies have all stopped just short of doing away with the man. LOL! Janice
