THE TROUBLE

THE TROUBLE

By Nadia Irshād

New Paragraph

The trouble with being an intelligent woman is you attract exceptional hunters. 

Hunters looking for a challenge. 

They fantasize about meeting their match; 

facing self annihilation. 

Not every hunter you will encounter will be acute, some are boorish. 

That sort carries arms, takes what it can get. 

The visionaries cut, then rip you open. 

Study your insides, devour the priceless bits.
