[ WP ] Our cause is righteous and just . We will not falter

`` Our cause is righteous and just. We will not falter.'' 
 
 I remember the first egg hitting the window, a bullet against the back of my brain. I could see them standing out there, hands raised. Then the hail fell. I could n't see them anymore through the curtain of yolk. Still, their rainy forms moved as one grey mass. 
 
 They remained outside my gate. They never entered. They just kept throwing. 
 
 `` Our cause is righteous and just. We will not falter.'' 
 
 In the morning, the word KILLER were written on the side of my car in washable marker. It still tattooed itself into my memory. It was signed with their names. 
 
 They did n't touch me and they never damaged my person, but they made me feel small. They were a school of fish, same dumb eyes, cow brains working out their next prank. 
 
 `` Our cause is righteous and just. We will not falter.'' 
 
 They left when my husband did n't come home. They left the egg soaked house. They left their markers and signs littering the sidewalk. 
 
 He never came back. Neither did they. 
 
 It took me weeks to get all the egg off and even then I had to call someone. 
 
 I do n't know if I can live in this town anymore. Knowing. Knowing how they see me. They say the Gay Agenda is out to get them. They say that God is punishing us. But I shop in the same store as these people. I went to school with them. THey have accepted me back into their fold, because the cancer is gone. 
 
 I was happy. But that does n't matter to them. Only that the BABY KILLER is gone.
