Eighteen

The plate smashed on the tile floor with all the fury four feet of gravity could muster. Scrambled eggs lay like a corpse in the heap of shattered ceramic.

Their shouting would worry neighbors not used to it. He accused, she deflected. She reprimanded, he maintained innocence. A cruel and ridiculous game of tennis. Angry footsteps, and a door slams.

Sometimes, a clear conscience is the best revenge.
