All he wanted from her was love, love so deep she would throw herself under the wheels of a speeding train to make him happy.

She was too smug in her own beauty to think of doing that.

He put the gun to her head and told her he was going to blow her brains out. The fire burned his heart, his lungs, his guts, while she stood cool and calm, waiting for him to pull the trigger, knowing he would look like the bad guy if he did it.

That wasn’t love.

He couldn’t even get fear from her.

Thanks, Michael. I wonder if anybody might notice that he WAS the bad guy. I wrote it from his POV just to be fair.

How ya doin, Mongo. I've been away, writing my science fiction novel. Got some really positive feedback on YouWriteOn, sponsored by the British Arts Council, Sara O'keefe of Orion books loved it, but not enough to buy. You might like YWO, it's got all kinds of ms to read and review, strictly controlled, no trading crits (reviews) to play favorites, no in-crowds or outers. Top 5 for the month get professional critiques from editors, agents, published authors. I heard about 6 Sentences on IWW, thought I could try. I saw your name among the membership, thought of Mongo and his dinos.
