Fiction Friday ~

A Scorned Woman

Betrayal. Broken. Lonely. Sometimes those aren't just words. Sometimes they are deep feelings that can acutally make your chest hurt. Like someone has torn your heart from your chest and left an empty, gaping hole. I loved him. Trusted him. I was a fool.

There are worse things than physical pain. Worse things.

He promised not to hurt me. He lied.

He won't do it again.

Hmmm... this is probably not a good time to be a first time visitor. But hey... I do like the song that you've got playing in the background.

Cheers!

Looks like the 20th was a day for venting the pain, eh?

Well crafted, the emotion drips from your words.

Thank you everyone.

I was inspired to write this after reading Tanya's Aftermath. It just boiled up from the back of me and had to come out.

Nice one. And yes, it provides an excellent counterpoint to Tanya's story. I love what you can do with only a few words, Kat.

Another great story, and posted just under the wire, I see. ;)
