It Ends Tonight

by Thesis


The author has placed a warning on this post for violence.

Finally, the river current was strong. Tonight would end ten years of abuse! 

Marie laid out tarps in the garage, sharpened the machete, and enticed her drunken, abusive boyfriend, James, into the garage. 

He tripped on the single stair and fell, unconscious, face down on the tarp. 

Picking up the machete, she cut him into pieces, stuffing them into garbage bags. 

Dumping them in the river, she smiled for the first time in ten years.
