‘Tis you sir, as certain as ’tis day. I am not fooled by your guise, ‘twas you that set the fire this Autumn past.
Still, I bear the scars. Though smitten by your jagged rock, gagged and bound, I writhed free. However, I had not the means to quench the grislic flames that robbed me of my dwelling place, and my beloved family.
You imagined I would not discern you, did you not? How wrong you were. 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!
