Somewhere

Somewhere out there is the man I am looking for. It may take years to find him but I will find him one day. I am preparing for our first meeting every day. I have developed the skills I will need to catch him. I have become a different women knowing that the one I used to be would never find him. I have practiced every day for the last two years so that I know when I find him, he will be mine. My hope is that once I find him my life will be complete, this gnawing emptiness will be gone. I will be whole again. It took me years to realize what I needed to do but now that I have a plan, I know that I will find him and when I do I will kill him with all the vengeance that has been bottled up inside me since the day he killed my parents and younger sister. Somewhere out there is the man who destroyed my family and I will find him.

Holy shit! This is wild! What an ending! Hopefully, not autobiographical!?

Speachless, I am totally speachless. You caught me off guard, and I am hoping it is fiction too. If not I hope the best for you. Very Powerful!

Well Well, I started out thinking you were dreaming then read further... I hope this is fiction!
Wow!

If ever there has been a reason to school oneself in something, I say there is a reason here.

Nicely done. So brief, yet so full.

You had me really going then I laughed so hard
and then I realized I had to share it with mother and she laughed then she said,"It is fiction? Right! Then we both laughed. And the punt I just thought of was,"No, it was friction!" Great writing!
