“Look at ‘em all,” Paul said, pointing down off the balcony to the street below, empty bottle in his free hand. “Do you think they know we’re up here? Do they know how easy it would be for us to seriously mess their day up?” He let the bottle dangle over the edge, aiming. “Think about the damage this could do after falling six stories? I guarantee it wouldn’t be the only thing in pieces down there.”
Paul drunkenly leaned over the rail. It’d be easy to send him over the side, bring him some of that misery he brought others.
Quite splendid! That last unexpected line is a terrific wrap-up to the story.
Thank you, glad you liked it.
Nice twist, well written!
Thank you.
Nice story. I think we’ve all met individuals we would like to see “go over the side.” Liked this one.
