‘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!

Me thinks this was a bit of Shakespeare!
Thee art v’ry kind, thanketh thee!
Fire and brimstone are the order of the day.
Very true, James!
Oh yes!
Like tea, can be served hot or cold, and it is always satisfying. Good one, Keith.
Very true, thanks so much, Lisa!
You are most welcome, Keith.
And that, sir, is how it is done! With class and panache!
Rather class than a kick up the…never mind. Thanks Dale!
He he he… exactly.
Not your usual light-hearted fare! I was so surprised by the serious tone of this that I had to read it twice to get the whole picture. Well done, Keith.
I had to rewrite it several times to get it to make sense! Thanks, Linda.
Having lost everything, the culprit may be happy to finally escape the clutches of his conscience (if he has any!)
That’s true! Thanks for dropping by, Dahlia.
ah, this surely zinged!
Caught! Revenge is complete
Well done Keith. Love the language in this one.
Well penned, sir! Take that! I agree with Laurie, I love the language.
