Slash by Daisy Ravenel
I’m going to slash the tires on my husband’s car.
My therapist says I shouldn’t. Says it’s symbolic: I want to stop him moving forward. Moving away. Says the best revenge is living well. That there’ll be a time in the distant future where he’s at his lowest and he’ll look back and wish he never hurt me.
Of course she’s right.
So it’s settled. I won’t slash the tires on his car.
I’ll slash the spare he keeps in his trunk instead.
Daisy Ravenel is a British writer in love with sci-fi, horror and the little noise cats make when startled awake.
