Black Reprisal
Prologue
He was spiraling into a dark abyss with every inch the casket was lowered. The tears he had yet to shed suddenly began to flow freely. He just couldn't fathom that she was gone. He would never hear her laughter or wipe her tears again. Suddenly the small trickle of tears flowing from his eyes turned into a rampant flood that he thought would never end. He felt the big strong arms of his closest friend pull him into an embrace. Normally he would be offended, but under these circumstances he needed all the comfort he could get. He let his friend hold him for several long seconds before finally pulling away. He heard the deafening sound of the casket thudding to the ground. He quickly wiped away his tears then silently dropped the white Belladonna Lilly down into the hole watching it fall atop the casket. His love's favorite flower had always been the beautiful Lilly.
At first he was just depressed after his wife's passing. However slowly as the days went by his depression turned into anger. He could feel the anger chipping away at his soul. He wasn't the same man his wife had fallen in love with anymore. However, since his wife no longer resided on this earth he really didn't care. He let the anger consume him. He let the anger give him reason for living. He let the anger take over his very reason for being. The anger dousing fuel on the fire for his evolving plan for revenge. The revenge he would exact on behalf of his wife.
