As expected his car arrived at exactly 9 am, he then went out calmly yet it’s evident he can barely contain his excitement.
He open the opposite car door and elegantly, the woman in the photo I am holding now appeared.
After crumpling the piece of junk bearing their still smiling faces, my shaking hands clenched the bottle of muriatic acid I have prepared for them.

A great drama drawn from a seemingly simple image – a tragedy wating to happen. Very nicely written 🙂

I looked up muriatic acid, too. Means toward an end. A well-drawn depiction of vengeance. Shows without telling. Ms. Christie would be pleased. Today, if it’s still today, you are a wild Irish Rose.
