Wreaking Havoc

TW!

I always knew my mother never liked me.

When I was a kid I saw the signs but it didn't occur to me, that it was humanly possible for a mother not to love her offspring.

She took my kid away from me for five years!

And had the guts to sell her for drug money.

Bound to the chair in front of me, I don't think I have it in me to show her any mercy.

Where was her mercy when she took my kid away from me for years?

Where was that mercy when she sold her off?

I want vengeance and I will get it.

I smiled at all of them tied down in front of us waiting for our judgment.

I looked down at our joined hands and then at his face. His lips turned to form the smile I've come to love.

It was just us in this room. Apart from the sinners who awaited our judgment, all I saw was him.

Just him.

It felt empowering.

I had nothing to say to Mariah. I looked at her, and all I saw were years of piled-up childhood anger.
