Her breath came in short, shallow gasps. A pressure built in her chest, a physical manifestation of her anguish. She wanted to strike out, to lash out at the world.

She sank to the ground, her back against the rough bark of the stump. She'd find out who had done this. She'd make them understand the depth of her hurt. She was sure of it.
