Chapter 21

House of Hard Knocks

In a house with yellow walls and blood red window panes a man bent over a counter top chuckled to himself. Blood and spit fall to the counter as he feels in his mouth where a tooth used to be.

Callie had left him.

She had left him like this.

On a stupid random whim that erratic selfish bitch had left him to die.

Oh well… she'd always been expendable… and unstable.

But she'd come into his home and hurt him…

She'd slipped through his grasp and control. For that she'd pay dearly.

He couldn't control her anymore…

"Oh well…" he thought again as he clumsily punched in the keys to call for an ambulance for himself.

"I'll just invent a new way."

He smiled through bloody broken teeth.
