Finally, he was finding himself again, and that was how he was going to survive.
When the five of them were dead, he could silence that particular demon.
Once.
And.
For.
All.
The first two…they’d been messy, and by this third woman, he’d perfected it. One wouldn’t think it would be easy to peel the flesh from a body, but that was anything but the truth.
Still, during the process, he adapted because he was smart, capable, and angry.
Once he learned the process, he’d been cool, calm, and collected.
These acts of revenge had set a piece of him free, and he couldn’t wait to finish it all.
Imagine finally being free from the burden of their lies. Imagine being free to not have that hang over him like a storm cloud.
That had to be an amazing feeling.
As for them…
There were five in total who had to pay for what they’d done to him and his mother. Five who would end up in this same position before he could call it a day.
It hadn’t been easy to find them, but he had, and not only that, but he’d watched them, learned about them, and followed them around to make sure he knew their processes.
And he did.
Oh, did he ever!
Once he’d found them, integrated into their daily habits, he was able to get a plan in order.
And he did.
Oh, he made sure to plan this all out to perfection, so nothing failed on his end. That couldn’t happen because he had to make this right.
So, he was careful.
That was the bottom line for him. He needed to ensure that nothing failed because this was theONLYchance he’d have to find peace.
While they went on with their lives, he didn’t.
Not.
Even.
Close.
Instead, he had been frozen on that horrible timeline, forced to relive the pain every day as they went on to grow up and be the people fate had wanted them to be.
Heroes.
They were supposed heroes for coming forward, and he was the spawn of the Devil himself just because he’d been born.
That wasn’t fair.
