Hello everyone!

This is my short story titled KARMA. Please read and criticize. Thank you.



Karma is a woman! A bitch! She never forgives.



The gates of hell was let loose into my home
five years after my wife and I made vows to be
faithful to each other standing on that altar.
"...I promise to be faithful to you until death
parts us." she vowed.

Little did I know that those words merely came
from her lips, they were like water poured on
stones that dried just immediately the sun set.


***

Throughout the five years I lived with my wife,
Amanda, I never raised a finger at her until that
night, the night I heard her mumble the words "I
love you" quietly into the phone she held very
close her to ears thinking I had ventured far
away from reality into the dream land.
Those words led to her loss of tears, and blood
from the bruises she caught from the anger I
poured on her.


***

The last time, she had stayed out all night at
somewhere under the cold cloudy sky of that
night I didn't know.


***

I felt the tree of karma fall on me as I raised a
hand to hit her. Her face gleamed with smiles
that took my memories back to that morning, six
years ago, when I gave her that same smile
exactly at my door step when she found out that
I was still meeting my ex.
Karma snatched every bit of strength in me. I
watched my hand fall.
Karma bit me in the butt.
