Diabolically Villainous Challenge

This challenge has ended!

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!

Think you have what it takes to accept this challenge?

    Oooh, I really want to use my “Simply 10110…etc.” story I wrote on ficlets (the one you and I made the series out of), but I feel like that would be cheating. Actually, It think the main reason I thought of it was from reading DirtMap’s entry—which makes it feel that much more like cheating.

    Same as Music-Hearted! Awesome challenge. Hopefully it yields just as horrible results as last time! :P

    I remember this from Ficlets! I’ll definitely have to give it a shot once I get the chance.

    Ugh I remember I had a pretty good entry with this challenge on ficlets.

    I don’t like the ending of mine…
    too abrupt. Ah well, I’ll fix it later.

Want to join in the fun? Of course you do!
