I’m linking up this week with The 100 Word Song Prompt from Lance over at My Blog Can Beat Up Your Blog. The song for this week’s inspiration was Deadman’s Gun from Ashtar Command. Enjoy!
The Reason
“Sticks
and stones, Karen,” she whispered to herself as she walked away from their
taunts. “A lady doesn’t rise.”
The
girls following her home teased her about her fraying uniform, about her wild
curly hair, about living in a tenement instead of a “real house”. Karen
breathed in the words Sister Mary Michael had taught her. She let go of the
anger and offered it up to Jesus.
“She
doesn’t even have a dad,” the blond one said. “He ran away because she’s so
ugly.”
Karen
stopped walking, turned and clenched her fist. They gave her a reason to fight.
"But they've taken enough, and you've given them all you can give. And luck won't save them tonight."
ReplyDeleteTake 'em down, Karen.
Even Jesus was known to tear up a temple or two, when the need arose. I hope she beats their asses...
