Prompt: You had it coming

Whenever someone says, "you had it coming", it means you got what you deserved, just deserts, all that. I'd venture to guess the speaker would be feeling a bit smug. You might even witness a little nod of satisfaction to punctuate their verdict.

I don't remember ever consciously saying that kind of thing out loud. Maybe I've thought it. I try not to. It's so...punitive. I want to believe I can move past these terminal stops, find a juncture, not just "it" and its predictable arrival. I'd like to think that when "it" gets here it will bring with it some new possibilities.
