Challenge
Write about a terrible character—a monster, a villain, the worst person you have ever known—and make that character sympathetic to readers.
“The villains are all parts of me. For years I've been wondering what it would be like if all those negative elements were forced onto the main character's side. I can understand a character with that kind of anger."---Hayao Miyazaki. (Think Magneto in X-Men, the Ice King in Adventure Time, The Phantom in the Phantom of the Opera...) 100 coins to the best work :)
Taming the Tresses
Medusa's strands serpents
Each with their own design
For their sins, not a one repents
No control, Medusa resigns
Brush each, often, from her eyes
Questioning, doubting control
Seconds later, they re-materialize
They're the boss, she's no fool
And yet no hairspray can tame
No gel could induce acquiescence
Still, if to you it's all the same
Pretend it's her preferred presence
