Keith's Ramblings

dark-roast

 

.

You seem familiar, sir, your guise fools me not. ‘Tis you that set the fire that fateful day.

Ned still bears the scars. Though pummeled gagged and bound, he writhed free but had not the means to quench the pernicious flames that cruelly robbed him of his dwelling place, his wife, his beloved children.

And now, deplorable sir, the nethermost depths of your repugnant basket are reached. ‘Tis I who’ll strike the final blow; ’tis I.

Take this …. sir!

    This is great, revenge with style. In this day and age it’d probably be, “You!” and “Wham!”
