PROMPT: Tell us about a thing you’ll never write about.
I’ll never write your name, when I tell the world all about you.
I’m vengeful, not petty.
When I incarcerate you in my fiction, your misdeeds and mistakes will be laid bare.
But I will not fabricate faults or falsify flaws that weren’t yours already.
Truth be told (and it will be), I have no need to overstate your failings.
In fact, I won’t spend much time on you. You don’t deserve it.
All I will give you is a cold mirror.
And I will certainly never write that you’re forgiven.
Should you develop a conscience someday, seek redemption elsewhere.

Remind me to never cross you.
Beautiful work.
Whoa, thank you! Don’t worry. Almost all fellow comic book nerds are exempt from my “list” and it’s not an easy list on which to land. ;)
