Confusion

“It was a Dark and Stormy Night”

By Scott L Vannatter – September 26, 2014

Jonus opened his eyes and listened with great confusion to the raging storm outside, matching the one going on inside him.

He could not remember anything about most anything except that his little girl had been murdered by two? no, three men.

He shook his head and felt the weight of the machete in his right hand, the handle dripping red onto a growing pool.

One by one he saw the bits and pieces of human beings scattered all around the old warehouse floor.

Then, shaking his head once more, he saw the two? no, three heads laying on the concrete and he remembered it all.

    yes, an understandable state of rage, that caused confusion and murder, The death of one’s child can break anyone and turn them into something they would have never been before. Well done with this small space!

      It certainly could/can. This came to me upon watching a show entitled “The Horseman”. It had a somewhat similar plot.

      Glad you liked both!
      Please go to my blog and read “Keeping Watch” under one of the top pages on the left side. It was done in sections – the last group (9 I think are the entire story in 9 sections). I would love to hear what you think!

      Loved “Momento”!
      This was written right after I watched “Horseman”. Very gritty, very rough.

I read lots of books, from mythology retellings to literary fiction and I love to reread books from childhood, this is a place to voice my thoughts for fun. I also like to ramble about things such as art or nature every now and again.
