Author: scfrankles
Rating: G
Author's Notes: ...he is as cunning as the Evil One…



After Milverton’s death, the serpent took up residence with her.

Every day it whispered its blackmail. “If you go out, I’ll give you away. Everyone will know what you’ve done.”

So she stayed alone and isolated, ignoring her friends’ pleas.

But she had rid the world of a poisonous creature. This time she was prepared to pay the serpent’s price.

Sad and haunting, but nicely done.

Thank you very much - sad and haunting was what I was hoping for.

Bravo, both the shooter and the frankles. Thank you for sharing this very likely and moving 60.

Like a knight who retires from the field after slaying the dragon. Brava, my lady.

I do wonder what her life was like after the murder. Milverton was a loathsome man but it's still a difficult thing to have to live with.

Quite chilling, and sad.

Thanks. I can't help but feel her life would be difficult after the murder.

Poor woman. I wonder if she realised how she would feel after the deed.

She was so full of grief, anger and hate that I suppose she just didn't believe that she had a future.
