DIRECTIONS
Write a piece of short fiction! And center it around a villain whose traits are reflective of the lecture notes I’ve provided
.
Villains are notoriously difficult to write well. They are also immeasurably fun to create. So it is a challenge worthy of some extra credit. In this optional assignment, I’m asking you to write a 1-2 page piece of flash fiction in which the narrator/main character is a villain. Remember the rules of flash fiction and keep it to one single unified event. Don’t try to write a sweeping epic in two pages! Use vivid, visual detail and symbolism to tell much of the story for you.
