Reckless Retribution

Revenge. X craves it more than anything in the world, more even than love or peace for herself. He stole her name, her brother, her lover, her life. He deserves to die the most painful, brutal death imaginable.

But when she tells him "no" one fateful night and he snaps, she has no choice but to kill him. Will it satisfy her, this hasty, haphazard murder? Or will she be left craving more?

(Another one shot requested by a friend of mine in 2008, so pardon the lack of skill. Fourth in a series of five one shots.)
