Author's note: I've decided to make this a drabble series. This is sort of the response to Genius, sort of Sasuke's version of it. You'll see that it has very much the same outline, and you should find a lot of similarities between the two. I designed it like that; it's not a coincidence.
WC: 100 (exactly 100! Am I good or am I good? :P)

Revenge.
The thought followed him.
He heard it echoed wherever he went, whispered in the deep recesses of his mind. And whenever he heard it, it seeped into his soul, clawing its way past the walls of his heart and tainting his conscience.
Revenge.
The idea had driven him, pushed him towards what he thought was a resolute and unavoidable future. It was a haunting reminder of what he trained for – lived for. It kept him grounded, kept him from slipping. Kept him from falling.
But only in the very end did Sasuke know.
His revenge would be his downfall.
