Footsteps sounded low
Hat tipped down hiding his face
Teeth gritted eyes red
Dark alley ahead
Owl hooting morbid low calls
Held no fear for him
Cool quiet night air
Bidding for sinister acts
Sweet revenge pursued
Bound to catch headlines
Of tomorrow’s editions
He just had no choice

Of course he didn't! I like the depth you've written, but I must admit, that photo simply draws me in too! Your title describes well, much of my own thoughts here. But I am also lost in the glow of it!
ReplyDeletehard when you feel like you have no other option..
ReplyDeleteguess it is best to take it and let the chips fall
where they may
I always enjoy a good plot of revenge pursued... NICE! But I enjoy the innocence as well.. "He just had no choice." The perfect save..
ReplyDeleteVery nicely done!
ReplyDeleteFits right in with the crime scene investigation shows I like to watch.
ReplyDeleteThe trick will be if the lab can nab 'the revenger' - since they let the first to play foul escape ;)
love the suspense and the dark mood! :) excellent write.
ReplyDeleteDark theme Hank ~ Even if he has no choice, his act is always a choice ~
ReplyDeleteRevenge can take people to places they never thought they'd go
ReplyDeleteYour words have the drive and inevitability of a good jazz riff
