The Cloud Speaks On the Subject of Revenge
Revenge is a relentless drama, greedy by nature. Watch it at work, feel it pull your sphincter drawstring-tight, then voraciously begin proceedings — get there early for the bitchin’-best seats in the house — with an entrée of guts and colon, of licks at liver’s thistled buds. Ads promising ripe reparation flicker through the mind as Scene One dips into belly-kicks and dicks about the diaphragm, crawls with sucker-tipped fingers up the oesophagus, tearing the trachea, finally filling the throat with bastardly bile, and the eyes with blind, pure venom-dripping hatred.
Yet this drama, served cold so to speak, to an audience of one, is merely the jaw-dropping finale of the 10th series. Better by far is infinity’s inevitable inheritance screening Karma: Effortless Vengeance. — the 24 carat blockbuster in glorious 3D.
Your ticket is in your back pocket.

I thank Noel for telling me this, but Confucius said:
If you set out on a path of revenge, dig two graves.

Ah yes, I read that on his blog too I think, then also, quite out of the blue it was in a film I saw. I almost added it as a tag but was keeping it light incease people thought I was genuinely on some terrible path of revenge which I’m not; karma works so beautifully I find beams however I have not been wronged much at all in this lifetime to be honest.

I find writing gruesome scenes quite…cathartic. 😉

Oooh yes. I wrote about someone cutting their own hand off at the wrist in one story, it was groing to grow back again (how I love sci-fi) but was as painful as it would be for any human being. It was catartic from a personal physical pain point, and works much the same with all manner of dark doings in the brain. I sometimes wonder if people who write about serial killers convincigly would make very good killers themselves, but have the skill to channel it all into their books. It’s a gift indeed to be able to siphon ones innards into the written word.

Eek! I hope not, Esme. The Vokhtah books are all about sociopaths, but I’m pretty sure I’m not serial killer material myself! That said, I believe we’re all capable of killing. I’m pretty sure I’d kill to protect the Offspring, but I can’t imagine any other circumstance in which I would.

First aired when you were all power-shouldered Krystle Carrington-style listening to Kajagoogoo and Depeche Commode on your cassette Walkman, back in ’83. So you’re right, not forty years ago. Thirty-eight.

Rock Darling, ROCK. And I never owned a walkman, I had a radio double cassette player the size of Penzance that was allegedly portable – sniffs like Maggie Smith in Downton Abbey channelling Patti Smith.
You know nothing of DM’s magnitude, and commodes are a necessary evil for some as I suspect you well know. Ha!
