When the River Overflowed I was Inspired to Murder You

Your body was heavy as I dragged you through the flooded cemetery. The coffins had been uprooted by the storm—the perfect place to hide you. I barely broke a sweat as I heaved your body into one of the boxes, the mud threatening to suck me down under the weight. I smiled as your eyelids fluttered open and your mouth formed a perfect surprised “Oh!” For all your cheap catcalls and sexist remarks, you fucking idiot, you got what you deserved.
