Runaway Beast - The End?

The guards wouldn't normally concern themselves with a suicidal prisoner but this one was different. They had a particular disgust for child molesters and they weren't going to let him escape trial. They quickly opened the cell and rushed the man to the nearby hospital. Life was slowly trickling out of him and as they reached the entrance of the hospital, the man breathed his last. The doctor declared him dead on arrival and it seemed he had his victory, although it was actually a losing situation either way.

Everyone at the hospital looked stunned as the prison wardens held their heads in grief. They thought that the wardens were mourning for the departed prisoner, but they were really mourning his escape from what awaited him in prison. They proceeded to take the lifeless body to the morgue and then began their muted drive back to the prison.

The victim stood near the window of her hospital ward and looked out as the scene unfolded. She too, saw the man being bundled into a body bag and understood what had just happened. Her monster was dead, and he had escaped punishment for his crime. She could only feel anger and bitterness with life. With her eyes up to the cloudless sky, she yelled angrily at God and stepped closer to the window ledge. Arms out wide, she dared Him to do something to stop her next move. Then with a well-calculated step, she let herself fall from the building.
