She kicked at the roses blooming in the garden, their vibrant colors now appearing garish and offensive. She needed to destroy something, to inflict some kind of pain to match the searing ache in her chest.

She went to her garage and grabbed a baseball bat and returned to the roses, swinging it with a ferocity that shook her to her core.
