Bitterness

The gruesome tale finally told. He takes the syringe from his pocket and holds it
up in the light of the campfire. The two men across the campfire blur as he focuses
upon the needlepoint. He hears the recognition in their final exhalations. He must be
quick and administer the antidote.
His tale he had said was a simple one, in the first person perspective and that it was a true story.
He told them of a boy that was bullied throughout his childhood and how later the boy had bitterly
grown into man with one purpose in mind. Revenge
