Congratulations, Ale J, for winning last week's contest!

Pick a villain, any villain, from your cast of characters, real life, or somebody else's fiction. Then have them do something that might endear them to the readers. Not anything out of character, mind you, but just show a side of them that maybe we don't usually get to see. A Pet the Dog moment, or maybe just a trivial little task that makes them seem 'human'. Submissions need to be up to 1,200 words in length

OR

Pick a hero from your cast, real life, or somebody else's fiction... and write them doing something that might make them fall a little out of favor for the readers. Not anything out of character, and not just show them angsting over something they've done in the past... but show a darker side that maybe we don't usually get to see. A Kick the Dog moment, a trivial but petty act of jealousy, anything. Submissions need to be up to 1,200 words in length
