There was a fight.

There was a fight. Words were said. Were they the right words? No one could say. Were they the wrong words? No one could say. Were they fair words? No one could say. But there was a reaction to the words. A reaction full of pain and emotion. Emotion bottled up, shaken up, and let out. A violent, angry, sad, unhappy, confused, painful, desperate emotion. Contact was made.

More words were said. Were they the right words? No one could say. Were they the wrong words? No one could say. Were they fair words? No one could say. But there was a reaction to the words. A reaction full of pain and emotion. Emotion bottled up, shaken up, let out. A violent, angry, sad, unhappy, confused, painful, desperate emotion. Glass was broken. Blood was spilled.

More words were said. Did they have an effect? Possibly. Was it too late? Absolutely. The damage was done. Damage to the glass, to the walls and the floors, to the hand. Damage to the evening. Damage to the relationships. Damage to the family.

More words were said. Softer words. Kinder words. Did they solve anything? No one could say. Damage was done.
