Revenge Notification

 

Sophia Wiseman-Rose


I’m coming back for you.

This is not a threat,

It’s a notification.

Go about your business. There’s no point in trying to

Avoid the inevitable.

Lament

I’m coming back for you.

 

You set your sights on me.

You wanted a scapegoat.

I was a sitting target

For your heartless conceit. But there’s a price, 

Murderer.

Your torment is certain.

I’m coming back for you 

 

What fun I’ll have with you.

With nothing left for me to lose 

No repercussions to fear.

Oh, your suffering will know no bounds, 

Liar.

I will savour your terror.

I’m coming back for you

Sophia Wiseman-Rose (aka Sr. Sophia Rose) is a Paramedic and an Anglican novice Franciscan nun, in the UK.  Both careers have given Sophia a great deal of exposure to the extremes in life and have provided great inspiration for her.  

  She has travelled too many countries, on medical missions and for modelling (many years ago), but has spent most of her life between the USA and the UK. She is currently residing in a rural Franciscan community and will soon be moving to London to be with a community there.  

  In addition, Sophia had a few poems and short stories in editions of Black Petals Horror/Science Fiction Magazine

 The majority of her artwork can be found on her website.
