They called me birdbrain.
I was their punchbag and aunt Sally.
I tried my best to be complacent.
All in vain — they left me shipwrecked to my failures.
I remember every name and every word they said.
They are all complicit, and I have kept a tab on them.
Stockpiling the chemicals I’m ready now.
I attach the last of the wires to the pressure cookers.
Tomorrow it’s reunion and they are all confirmed.
I know that they will tell me how they really liked me,
maybe some will show remorse.
But for them …
it will be too late.
This picture really gave me some challenge, but if nothing else works go for the creepy.

Björn Rudbergs writings 
Never upset the disenfranchised. They might know how to use explosives.
As a side note, given the mass shooting that occurred in Las Vegas about a week-and-a-half ago, this story has a certain relevancy.
I felt like that ass well… a dangerous world we live in, with every bully and bullied asking for revenge.
That is creepy and a half! Quite the revenge he’s planning there. Well written Bjorn,but disturbing all the same
I find it so too… that’s why I avoid reunions.
Haha! Me too 🙂
Punching bag no more…
By the way… maybe change the “it’s”?
Thank you… I must be blind to the correction. But I think you have spotted something…
“Tomorrow it’s reunion” – oh wait… it does work!
Phew … I that’s what I hoped… 🙂
There is something unsettling about the photo, for sure.
I thought so… but I’m probably wrong.
Dear Björn,
I’d say this is going to be a reunion no one will forget. Good one
Shalom,
Rochelle
I think he will make a deep impact
I can see how the photo inspired that story. Brave attempt to think with the mind of a would-be mass murderer…good writing, Bjorn.
I wonder what they feel… but I assume a sense of power is one.
A very dark tale that was well crafted.
Darkness is what I do.
Ugly price they’re going to pay. Someone should post a sign saying, “Don’t go to the reunion!” But I’ll bet no one will.
I think not… Kaboom
darn, it sounds like it’ll be a reunion in hell.
It’s gonna be a blaze
Chilling!
Excellent writing, as always.
Thank you
His revenge is being served cold. The best way, apparently. Chilling stuff.
Reunions sounds like a bad idea in general
I know this feeling. I am grateful it has left me. Well done for giving me a reminder of what resentment can bring.
It’s better to move on…
Revenge is sweet, for Birdbrain anyway. Excellent.
Click to read my FriFic!
I think he feel it’s needed.
Creepy and vindictive. You achieved your goal!
Ha… creepy works
Haha! Deliciously creepy. Good one, Bjorn.
Indeed… what drives them..
You really went to the dark side with this one, Bjorn. Revenge is sweet? Or possibly not.
Probably still bitter
It sounds like kablooey is in the offing.
Go for the Creepy! Yes, unless you can be Batman, then be Batman…

I can quite empathise with him. Good use of the pressure cookers as a metaphor. That is a lot to keep bottled up and simmering.
Some reunion. Sounds like it’s going to be a real blast.
This is one angry and damaged narrator. I wonder if he has considered the innocents he will take out with his plan as well. A chilling read.
“shipwrecked to my failures” I love that line and I hate mean people.

Wow! That’s some long-held grudge! Very well written. You capture his feelings perfectly.
Chilling! Very nicely done.
Well, if I ever need a good reason to avoid a school reunion, I think you have just provided one Björn! Sinister, but good!
Creepy worked! Yikes!
Great stuff, Bjorn. The moment before the outrage is so full of tension and foreboding
