I was standing at the corner of 5th and Silver waiting for the walking light to turn green when I saw him. Him, the man that raped me three years ago. I felt the air rush out of my lungs and my heart beat furiously. I wanted to run and not let him see me, but the light turned green. I began walking in the crosswalk, keeping my head down, hoping he wouldn't see me. Suddenly, a power greater than me picked up my feet and legs and threw me in his direction.
“You bastard!” I slapped his face.

BEAUTIFUL WORDS 
Sounds like karma. Maybe he has more of it coming his way?
Yes, I think you are right!
I don’t think I would have the courage to have done that. Very excited story.
You’re right. That would take a lot of courage. Maybe it came from the power greater than herself. 🙂
It is amazing the creative stories you often come up with from the prompts! And how you can tell a whole story in so few words! 🙂
Thanks Jodi! I appreciate that. I thought maybe you didn’t care for my stories.
Oh no PJ – I very often enjoy your stories! 🙂 Sorry if I don’t let you know enough 😦
Thank you Jodi. I truly appreciate that. I understand. You are a very busy person!
Glad you understand. You always hold a special place in my heart P!
You hold a special place in my heart Jodi! Merry Christmas!
I was a little nervous when I saw the title, but boy, was I glad I read it when I got to the point where she slapped him. He deserves so much more, but he *definitely* deserved that — good for your heroine, to be so brave!
Thank you Joy! I think it would take a lot of courage.
Powerful stuff from you this week, Joy.
Thank you CE! I appreciate it.
I think he got of easy with a slap in the face. She should have kicked him in the family jewels nice and hard too. Great story PJ, Caeyr is right powerful stuff.
Thank you Mandi! Yes, a nice kick in the groin would have been perfect! LOL!
Hopefully, that is not the end of the story!
You mean the story after he gets out of prison? LOL!
Yep….
Whoa! Where did that come from? Very strong and powerful story in so few words. I could feel her fear and her anger, wow PJ!
What a powerful moment Priceless! I hope she followed it up with more empowerment!!!!!
Yes! She had him sent to prison! 🙂
Like Mandi, I would give him a nice kick! Just a slap is way too light! A powerful piece indeed! 🙂
Thank you Fun! You are right. A slap isn’t tough enough! Prison would be more appropriate.
Strong and powerful, concise yet packs a punch (or should I say slap … )
Thank you Graham! 🙂
Right on! A strong woman
Thank you Donna! 🙂
This was so powerful PJ… I could feel that man being slapped by the girl…the story, language, setting all in perfect harmony! Kudos for your great story telling skills.
Thank you so much Shivangi! 🙂
He deserved more than a face clap.
DJ
Yes, you’re right! He needed to be in jail.
Excellent!
Thank you Susan! 🙂
I think I would have fixed him in place until he was hit by a car. I like this. She had no power over exacting some sort of revenge on him.
Yes! That would have been a good ending! ( …. SPLAT….) LOL! Thank you for reading and for your comment.
You’re always welcome Joy 🙂
Thank you 🙂
🙂
Wonderful story, Joy! Her conscious mind was still in the timid and humiliated mode, but fortunately, her subconscious mind acted quickly and decisively with retribution. Of course, he certainly deserved more punishment than that, but it was a start! 🙂
You’re right Jessie! He needs more punishment than a slap, but I didn’t have enough words. LOL!! Thank you so much!
Wow she was strong!
Yes, but still needs to be stronger and call the police! 😀
The whole police force!!
Great story, Joy… satisfying 🙂
Thanks Cat! She needs to do more than slap him but I ran out of words. LOL! Great to see you on the blogs!
Perfect ending. I would have felt bad if she just walked away.
She was going to but her subconscious kept her from it. Thank you for reading!
You go girl! (I’m referring to the character) 😄. I don’t know how you came up with that story using the prompt. I love its
LOL! Thanks Ameena! 🙂
I think a slap in the face is the least he deserves! Hopefully he’ll have far worse coming his way. A powerful story, PJ. 🙂
You’re right Louise! And yes, he has far worse coming his way. I ran out of words. LOL!
