scorpion kunai knife

She wakes beneath the fluorescent lights, broken but alive. Machines hum beside her, but the real wound isn’t her fractured body—it’s her fiancé’s calm confession. They broke up weeks ago, he says. He only came out of duty. And he’s already moved on—with his boss’s daughter. The doctor believes him. The nurses pity her. His best friend nods along, though she catches the hesitation in his eyes—the silent bargain in his glance. Orphaned and alone, she cannot outshout their voices. So she doesn’t. She smiles. She thanks them. She pretends her mind is fogged. But at night, when silence sharpens her loneliness into a blade, she begins to plan. Her revenge will not only cut, but carve: to peel back her fiancé’s lies until his glittering new love sees the truth beneath his ambition, to bend the best friend’s loyalty, and to turn pity into power. Revenge isn’t always cold. Sometimes it’s seductive. And soon, she’ll be the one holding the knife.

A Letter About Breaking the Cycle Dear Reader, You didn’t wake up broken—someone broke you. But here’s the truth: you can break the cycle instead of passing it on to someone else. Even your victims, if they saw you truly wanted to be better and were given a real chance at redemption, would agree that every single one of you deserves actual freedom. I’m talking about a freedom where you don’t have to stay silent about your brokenness. A freedom where you can heal without judgment. You Are More Than What Was Done to You You are not just the ones who take—you are also the taken. Don’t you think someone is missing you somewhere? You are somebody’s brother, sister, mother, or friend. Someone out there just wants answers. By the time the system gets involved, most people aren’t even focused on punishment—they want justice and closure. The System Isn’t Working Who’s really benefiting from all this? It’s those who started the cycle, those who watch it unfold. The system that claims to fix things often ends up breaking more people than it helps. Sending more people into a broken system isn’t justice. A Real Chance at Redemption That’s why I’m offering you something different: No more fear No more punishment No more lack of access No more fear of judgment I’m offering a real chance at redemption. Instead of being the “Troy” they wanted me to be—the Trojan horse to end it all for them because their ring was exposed—I want to be the reason everyone finally knows what joy is, and who brings it. We Are All Connected The tree does not banish its own branches, and I will not banish the tree—especially when it’s the only thing tying us all to life. But what kind of life is this for anyone? Running from a system that hired you to do this in the first place? Does that make sense? Let’s break the cycle. Let’s choose healing, truth, and real justice. With hope for a new beginning, The World

Instead, he awoke beneath a rock, reborn as something small, fragile, and dangerous—a black and blue-scaled scorpion.
