I saw him again a few weeks later.

He was in court.
His dad took the blame and saved Brad from
the death penalty.
He was still going to jail for fifteen years.
It was perfect.
I wanted him to live, and suffer.
I’d make sure that he suffered every day in prison.
That’s where I saw him, I smiled at him.
“Have a good time in there, okay?”
The other inmates beat him.
He had bruises just like my sister did.
They would hurt him, just because of his
looks.
He’d been someone who’d never been hurt
before.
I laughed, I was crying.
Not enough, not yet.
The show is just about to start.
Did you see that, sis?
I avenged you.
The people who had done wrong would pay
the price.

The people who had done wrong would pay
the price.
After that, things got quiet.
My parents and I gave Lily a funeral.
It started snowing, even though it wasn’t
winter.
My heart was cold.
My sister, your life was hard.
Next time, I’ll stay with you.
