Vengeance
by Wynelda Ann Deaver
They tried to crown me with iron thorns. I made those bitches bloom. My sisters may slither through the games humans play. I have neither the patience nor the grace, leaving it for them . Those who have never truly been harmed send pleas for Justice, Truth, sometimes even Grace. Sorrow falls upon them only once it’s done. Some may beg for Mercy, but she’s a fickle one. Those who call my name have had her name upon their lips. But she has passed them by, and they lay broken and afraid their next breath will sever them in two… Finally, their very souls call my name.
I will answer.
Petals wilt, falling softly in my wake. Iron thorns will weep blood.

A darkly excellent story, loved it.
Hooray! A fine first foray. 🥰
I love a good allegory and this is great – hard to imagine her as anyone other than the personification of Vengeance – watch out everyone!
