Diabolically Villainous Challenge
I've posed this challenge on ficlets and Protagonize, and I want to see what you all here on ficly can do with this. I've seen some great character development in my reading career, especially here, and I want to take advantage of that. *Your Challenge:* give me a villain of some sort. (S)He/it can be realistic, outlandish, from mischivous to downright twisted; use dialogue, visual description, whatever gets the job done. But when that job's done, I want to love to hate this person's guts. Think Edmund from _King Lear_, Javert of _Les Miserables_, or, a bit closer to home, Cole from THX's old _Pretty Things_ series on ficlets(http://ficlets.ficly.com/stories/28740). *_One Condition:_* I'm alright with entries tagged as "mature" for scenes of a gory, graphic nature, but please, try extremely hard to stay away from more, _intimate_ scenes, if you get my drift. If it's absolutely ineveitable, leave a comment on the challenge. I've yet to be disappointed by this challenge. Let the villany fly!
