Journal #7

            I had Dimmesdale in the right place at the right moment. I had him within my grasp, ready to fall victim to my revenge. I had him pinned down. There he was on the stage along with Hester and Pearl, me included. His sermon was indeed touching. Everyone received his speech with praise and acceptance, yet, I was to ruin it for him. I never got my chance; it was stolen from me!

            The man admitted his sin, the sin he had committed with Hester. Dimmesdale confessed his innermost secrets. I never intended him to do so; this was meant to be me telling the town of his failure to god. Then, in an almost heavenly fashion, he revealed the mark on his chest; a scarlet letter embedded that seem to be just as Hester’s. Dimmesdale collapsed to the ground, a dead man. I have failed in my quest, now, my purpose had been destroyed.
