  • Too Close To Home

      I was walking towards the low-roofed adult home, it was just to my left. The wind brushed past my face with a nonchalant whisk, as if questioning my presence in such a rough neighborhood. It was cold, but not bad enough to prevent a midnight excursion. The hour long walk had put my hands to sleep, but my curiosity was awake as ever.

She slowly balled her hands into two tiny fists and shouted, “I will get my revenge!” When kids are mad at their parents, most of them do either one of two things: one, they throw a temper tantrum. Or two, they get revenge but it’s something small like putting salt into their parent’s coffee. This primary school-aged kid was different though. She had a plan so grand that even Arsene Lupin wouldn’t be able to handle it. This plot of revenge had all stemmed from her parent...PI1one door
