3150. REVENGE!
© Bruce Goodman 20 March 2025


It was going to be a normal school day for Lilian – that is until she took out her exercise book for Geography class. There on the cover, on a pink sticky note, was a hand-written message: REVENGE!

Lilian didn’t know who would write such a message and why. What had she done? It sounded threatening. It made her scared. All during Geography class she thought of nothing else. Who had she offended that needed to take revenge?

School finished for the day. Lilian went home. She didn’t know whether to tell her mother or not. She decided not to. Dinner time came and Lilian wasn’t that hungry. Was she ill? asked her mother.

No.

Did you get the note I left on your Geography book? It was the answer to the crossword clue we had been trying to think of for three days! REVENGE!
