Ready, Aim, Fire
by Elisabeth Carrey
The written word brought out irrational hatred in Dierdre Eliade. She was an
action-oriented girl. Why bother with pen and paper when a punch to the
stomach got your point across much quicker?
Then again, Sunshine always did hit like a girl. And her aim was even worse.
She glanced once more at the scented stationary she was holding.
Dee,
Tom asked me to marry him. Come home and help Audrey and I plan!
Love,
Jenny
Dee grimaced and fished a Bic out from her pocket. A quick flick of the
lighter and the letter went up in flames. She dropped it in the kitchen
sink, then stared down at the curling paper.
"Right on target, Sunshine," she whispered.
