I worked on a pleasure boat, making my living at the bottom of society.
One day I found a woman’s body.
While searching her for valuables, I discovered a letter tucked out of sight.
Only then did I realize who this battered, broken girl had been.
I laid a hand over her staring eyes, her body crisscrossed with bruises.
“Don’t worry.
I won’t take your name for nothing.
I’ll avenge you.”
