Poisonous Vengeance

Richard Paxton spent his inferior life at the bottom of the food chain. He let his lack of confidence and indignity in addition to the powerful men around him overwhelm him. Will one particular man prove to be the last straw for Richard? Does death come will unknown courage, or perhaps rashness, that was lacked in previous life?

(I wrote this story in the likeness of Edgar Allan Poe. Hopefully I executed my idea appropriately.)
