She had the last laugh.


She was the reason why he took the plunge.
She was there when he came back from purgatory.
She was always waiting for him near the grocery shop.
She was there when he came back after being rejected for the fifth time.
She was there when his fiancée broke up with him.
She was there when he broke down.
She was waiting for him when he tried to take his life.
Slowly,she unravelled him when he took her to his lips. 
She travelled into him and rot him away. 
She had the last laugh when he died a slow painful death of liver cirrhosis.

    The big bad world, of which she and the likes of her are a big part.
