My haunches took my weight, shaking fingers turning him to me.
“Get the fuck off me,” he wheezed, surprising me that he was somehow still alive.
I tugged at the noose, careful with the burns around his throat as I removed it.
And then, I was vibrating.
I stood and pulled the reason from my pocket to see a text on the big screen.

And it wasn’t the first time this month.
My rampage had started three weeks ago when I’d left that poor fucking woman alone for all of two minutes, and that smug little prick who’d enjoyed cutting out her tongue and pocketing her eyeball, for whatever fucked up reason, had returned to her cell.
