Maggie thought to years past. Back when she was a little girl, in Canada. Though she was a city girl now, it wasn't always that way. When she was born in rural canada, near a large forest. He father was a Mountie. He was so handsome in his uniform; little Maggie liked to stare after he dad as he left for work.
One day, Maggie followed him. Hid in the back of the truck, got out and tracked (as well as a 5 year old could track) her dad into the woods. When she found him a long time later, he and the other mounties had a dirty, large, long haired man surrounded. Her dad did not see her. Then the man moved, quicker than anything she had seen. One by one the mounties went down, including her father.
Maggie ran to him. Held his head up. "Daddy. Daddy". He opened his eyes upon hearing his daughters voice. Looked up into her face with horror, knowing what was coming. He told her to run and then said no more.
Maggie sat there sobbing as the long haired man came over. He raised his hand to her and was about to strike when he looked down at her small figure and stayed his blow. He looked into her eyes, sighed and walked away. He could not harm a child.
Maggie screamed after him "Coward. Scared of a little girl. I will get you. Run. Run". Her 5 year old body shaked as she swore revenge for her father.
Maggie waited in the tunnel. After more than 3 decades her time was coming. She knew it was him from his eyes in the photograph. Her revenge was finally near.
about Sumo
Sumo is Elaine's #1 Marathon Running Fan. Sadly, Elaine lost Sumo somewhere during her work commute from Midtown West to Midtown East. Building security checked for Sumo everywhere, but he was no where to be found. Luckily, Sumo was found by a young British boy vacationing in NY. He took it back to his parents home in Notting Hill, but he himself dropped it while skipping down to the Picadilly line. The Sumo was then found again and put on Ebay...
