"Revenge Fantasy" by Stephanie Valente

Begins with texts to my best friend.
Do you want to hear my revenge fantasy?
Let’s get iced coffee and be brats.
Learned helplessness is a crime.
Success is an art. I’m working on my MFA.
That’s deeply stupid.
I’m reviewing my life choices in this Greek restaurant.
Not everyone needs to be a Very Interesting Person.
Who needs a human man? Shadow Daddies exist.
I’m having revenge fantasies. The taste of blood.
That’s deeply brilliant.
I would destroy him. For you.
I’m in love with everything.
I prefer to move in silence.
