Quote for this book: "There is no greater glory than love, and no greater punishment than jealousy." — Unknown

Belladonna Garrow has spent her years watching someone else live the life she always wanted. A life with a loving family, surrounded by loyal friends, radiates happiness, and pulls the attention from all around. While everyone else seems to have a place in the world, Bella is left with loneliness, silence, and a growing bitterness she can go longer ignore or suppress.

When she discovers a mysterious book said to grant every wish, fulfill every desire, and answer every selfish thought hidden within its pages, Bella sees an opportunity. Finally, she believes she has a way to rewrite fate in her favor. And take the life she believes she deserves.

But some books are not meant to give. Some are meant to take, to teach, and to rectify. And when jealousy guides the pen, the consequences are written in ink that cannot be erased.

A short dark fantasy about envy, karma, and the price of wishing for something that isn’t yours.

Poetic Justice mildly explores themes of envy, emotional neglect, bitterness, and the consequences of selfish desires. If any of this feels too heavy or triggering, I ask that you proceed with caution or not at all.

This is the end of Chapter 0.5: A Selfish Welcome
