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.

No Time for Love
“I fucking hate you, you bastard,” I screamed as I unloaded my .45 into his chest. He lay there, lifeless, a bloody mess on the carpet that we picked out together. A carpet that held so much promise. An ugly drab gray that we decided would match our dull life. It looks better with red blood soaking in it. There will be no heart-shaped boxes of candy. No stuffed bears. No roses. You deserve this, I tell myself. Take that! I showed you. I grabbed my coat because it was time to go to work, and I can’t be late.
