The Anti-Valentine's Day Quickie
Challenge Details
'Tis the season when all the happy, heart-y, pink-and-red, sugar-coated decor comes out, and the thematic message seems to be: "If you love that special one, buy our stuff for him or her! Because your devotion in time of need and good company just don't say "I love you" like jewelry or this cheap tin of chocolate."
So to counter the icky sweetness, write drabbles that are either bitterly depressing or else show a non-commercialized/non-sanitized romantic moment. Deadline: February 28.
