Is It Evil?, by Bill Diamond

He tempted my sunny daughter with a promise of a sensuous life. Then sunk his fangs into her susceptible mind and injected drugs into her young body. Melissa fell to his savage predations. Addicted to his hot passions.

Now, she’s in a deep Winter of her soul. Frightened, withdrawn and cowed. Cold and aloof from friends and family. Shunning the bright world of hope and prospects she relished. The spark has left her soul. Her spirit lives in a dark cave of isolation. Unreachable in the crypt of his icy power.

Having exhausted lesser means, I lie in wait with malice and a weapon. Although it’s premeditated and my heart is blind with hate, is this a sin when he’s a heartless fiend?

I pounce and stab determined to free her from his lethal grip. Others, more wise and dispassionate, can decide my fate.
