Prompt 57 Shock and A Seething Rise To Vengeance

This week’s prompt is shock and a seething rise to vengeance. The image I get is of someone uncovering an affair, crime, or betrayal. Perhaps you’d considered someone a dear friend only to find out that they were trashing your reputation? Perhaps you trusted someone to manage your finances only to discover that they’d been draining your savings? Perhaps you married “Mr. Right” only to find that “Mr. Right” had another family? Perhaps you met a nice girl, gave her your heart and soul and she turned out to have a serious game-changing addiction? Sometimes a person hurts you and you want to hurt them back. Maybe you never exact your vengeance outside of your own headspace. Maybe you spend your whole life paying the perpetrator back for their crimes. Maybe your vengeance is swift and irreparable. Maybe you handle the situation with dignity and class and then let it go.
