February Drabble Challenge: "Love and Hate"
Well, it's Valentine's Day time, so let's get cliche. Write me a prose story in exactly 100 words tying into the theme of love or hate or Valentine's Day. Any genre, but horror has a special place in my heart. Winner gets a pair of George Washingtons, baby. Wanna win? Stick to prose using standard rules of grammar, spelling, and punctuation. I'll choose the winner in early March.
A Romantic Dinner
I had always considered Valentine's Day a load of rubbish. Surely your lover knew that you loved him every day that you loved him.
I continued thinking that until I met Ernest. He was a serious, young man whose name matched his character. After a whirlwind romance, we married.
For a while, our marriage was happy, but he was so dull. Every evening, he would plonk himself down in front of the television set and not talk.
One day, I bought a bottle of cyanide and added it to his dinner. He keeled over and died instantly.
