She had one track in mind. Obsessed with thoughts of revenge, inhabited by hate and the need to destroy that which had almost destroyed her.
She blindly followed whichever merciless idea was the first to enter her head, with no thought as to where it might lead, or the consequences that might ensue.
But he was always one stop further down the line. To him, the chase was a challenge. As she plotted, he relished the hunt like a wise old fox dodging the blood hungry hounds.
And whilst she headed for the sunset he enjoyed the dawn, for he was starting anew. A new conquest tempted by his alluring words on a dating site.
At least, so he thought.
She had reached her final destination. This part of her plan had worked and at last she stood face to face with her tormentor. Now it was she that had the upper hand.
The chase was over. She claimed her prize then skillfully disposed of it like so much garbage. She felt no guilt, no remorse, only satisfaction.
At last her mind was free to travel any track it desired.

This is such an intriguing story Keith. You’ve left so much to our imagination. Thanks for joining in.
Thanks so much, Sadje.
You’re always welcome
eek!!! well done
Thanks, Beth!
Good one Keith
Thanks so much, Di.
I have no argument with the other comments. It is a good story. But I had a hard time keeping track of her tricks and had to back track at least 3 times.
They dosay ‘third time lucky!” I trust you eventually arrived at the destination!
Done in by demise … finely devised.
Perfectly put! Thanks so much.
What a great tension filled piece. I couldn’t tell if I was reading about a lady outwitting a stalker or a vixen beating a hunting dog – Something that gave great mystery and suspense to the story. Well done, Keith.
Definitely, the former, Mason, and she did far more than simply outwit him!
She certainly did!
Oh, a compelling and well written piece, Keith!
Thanks for your kind words.
You’re welcome, Keith.
This sounds like the opening of a good mystery. Now we bring in Hercule Poirot… 🙂
We definitely need some of his little grey cells!
He’s scary, she’s scarier. I hope she can regain her equilibrium.
So true, Mimi!
Quite exciting, Keith, and edgy. You held my attention the whole time. Great read!
She did a reverse uno on him
That’s true!
You really should take up writing. I bet you’d have a Best Seller!!! Have a wonderful day and rest of your week… Love, love, love your pictures… I wish I could see what you see one day… but thanks for the experience at least… you’re a good friend… Please be my friend. Thanks…
What lovely things to say, thank you! Of course, we are friends Marie!
so glad she freed herself. Perhaps in time he would same? Hope so. I enjoyed listening to you tell this story. Thanks.
