She publishes the tweet and drops her phone, grimacing with disgust.

“Let no one say I didn’t try,” she mumbles, curling up against me, her eyes falling closed. “It’s his move, now.”

It’s very easy to make a petrol bomb. Almost worryingly easy, really; any old criminal could do it.

After Briar left the press event, I was upset for a very long time. For hours, I paced up and down my cabin, crying, screaming, breaking things. Trying to decide what I should do.

It’s the middle of the night by the time I make my decision.

I drive myself to the nearest gas station to buy petrol, some cloth, and a glass bottle of pop.

I am very, very, very angry.

I admit, I’m not thinking clearly. My head is in a haze. I’m just so mad at Briar. I have worked so hard, building her a home. I have spent years sending her gifts and messages. And she’s thrown it all in my face.

Well. I’ll show her. I know where she’s staying. I think I might just pay her a visit.

As I’m checking out my shopping, I see a couple of young teenagers loitering in the candy aisle, holding hands. I stand and watch in disgust as the guy bends and kisses the girl on the lips. They start making out, right in the middle of the store.

Fury lashes through me, so strong I almost drop my shopping. Why the Hell should a fifteen-year-old boy be able to get a girl, when I can’t? Things like this make me feel so angry I want to kill someone.

I take all of my materials home and set about making the bomb. I’ve just finished when my phone buzzes. I look and see that Briar’s sent another tweet. Not the bullshit one her PR people published earlier this evening. A tweet just for me.

I’m sorry X
