The Best Revenge

I'd like to read some revenge stories!

Stories most likely to win will have: interesting plot, character development, emotion, some level of logic or believability, and creativity. I love good description that places me in the moment. I want to feel the story...

Please use best efforts at spelling and grammar.


Rules:

1. Please keep under 5000 words (a little over is ok), but be forewarned: the longer it is, the more interesting it has to be! (short attention span, lol)
2. Run spell check
3. I prefer complete stories to fragments of longer stories.
4. Deadline may be extended
5. Will comment on all entries
6. Extra points for fresh writes

Thanks, have fun!
