1001 tales - vindication
This is the seventh installment in The 1001 Tales. It is an experiment in real-time writing, none of this is pre-conceived or pre-meditated, I want to see how far I can push a story without stopping to build the characters, or to plot out a proper tale. Some are brief, some are long and elaborate.
For the previous stories, go here: 1001 Tales Category
And now…

Vindication.
She stands on the verandah, next to her father, his hand firmly on her shoulder, a fearsome frown on his face. Her lips are quivering, tears are streaming down her cheeks. She looks across the yard, looks at him. The love of her life.
Her mind screams, “I’m so so so sorry! I didn’t know it would turn out like this, I swear! All I wanted was to be with you for ever!”
He looks back at her, hands cuffed, cops dragging him away, grabbing him by the waist of his pants. The kind of treatment reserved for the worst sort of criminal. He has pure anger on his face. He has never hated anything so much in his life.
His mind screams, “You lied to me! You did this to me! You set me up, you filthy bitch! ”
Then the memory overwhelms him. The local magistrate’s court, the gavel hitting the table with finality.
Seven years for defilement.
That’s when his own tears start.

Extract from Journey To Love titled “Shadows” by William Carlos Willams:
“Shadows cast by the street light
under the stars,
the head is tilted back,
the long shadow of the legs
presumes a world taken for granted
on which the cricket trills”
