Welcome to the third weekly challenge for February, where our theme is twisting Love into Hate or back the other way:
The broken promise.
The Lie.
The Real Truth.
Explosively unleashed and irreversibly expelled.
A wishless genie with the power only to shatter lives and ruin dreams.
You have your Beast and your Beauty.
You’ve had your two weeks of love.
Your honeymoon.
Now it’s time to ram in the knife and twist. In the back as a surprise, cowardly and unkind? Or in the gut, cold-eyed and soulless?
Who is the broken doll afterwards? Is it one of our lovers, or is it a third? Is it poison on the lips or venom in the ears?
The most potent hate often comes from love betrayed.
