A Lawsuit
Judge: Okay, now I want to hear your side of the story.
Linda: Well, I went to the store about a month ago.
Judge: Is this true Mr. Wren?
George: Yes ma'am.
Judge: Continue.
Linda: I was going to buy some avocados for guacamole but when I went to the produce isle I slipped on a puddle of water.
George: You put it there!
Judge: Hey! Is it you turn to speak?
George: But...
Judge: Is it?
George: No.
Judge: Continue.
Linda: And when I asked Mr. Wren for help he laughed at me!
George: Not true, Your Honor, not true!
Judge: Hey! It's her turn to speak, not yours. She didn't speak during your turn. (Turns to Linda.) Continue.
Linda: I suffered a fractured wrist bone and couldn't go to work for a month.
Judge: Do you have the medical report?
Linda: Yes ma'am. Here. (Hands her a sheaf of papers.)
Judge: Looks official.
George: Or forged.
Judge: What was that?
George: Nothing.
Judge: I've had enough of your backtalk!
George: She's a liar! A liar and a witch!
Judge: I think the solution here is clear. The sum of $5000 for the plantiff.
George: But...
Judge: That is all.
(George leaves courtroom. Linda comes by and bumps past him.)
Linda: Better luck next time, chum.

Original Diabolically Villainous Challenge: http://prt.ag/6KxqThe task is fairly simple: give me a villain of some kind. Describe him/her/it in dialog, words, even verse should it strike you to do so. Give us reason, one or multiple reasons, to love to hate this person or thing; you can hint at a tragic past to give motive, but make us get over the pity quickly.
Conditions:
- You're free to twist this villian and his/her/its actions, but keep it out of "mature"-tag-necessary territory.
- If you've participated in the challenge before, you're not allowed to reuse your previous entry(ies)
Other than that, though, you're free to create any sort of villain, and submit more than once should you be inspired.
Deadline is Friday, August 13th. I haven't decided if I'm going to judge entries yet.
Good luck, godspeed, force be with you, feliz navidad, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
