title: tit for tat
prompt: K; killer
featuring: Wakefield
set: pre-series

--

John Wakefield wasn't a born killer. He was a good man once—and then he met Sarah.

He loved her with all his heart, but his devotion meant nothing to her in the end. She ripped out his heart when she left, and trampled it when she gave away their child.

His son.

Wakefield was dead the first time he went to Harper's Island, and he was dead all those long, wrong years in prison. He was dead when he went back. He was a dead man when he strung Sarah up and watched her die.

It was only fair.


Author's Note: Thanks to imhappyboy for the prompt about using K for Killer and Wakefield. Now that it's December and NaNoWriMo is over, I plan on getting back to all of my writing -- but I'm still working on these drabbles. Thank you to everyone who's been reading these so far. I love hearing what you think about this little drabbles :)
