-Matchbox 20, “Downfall”

Love is the one subject that’s probably been explored the most in art, whether in writing, music, painting, sculpture or some other form. But have you considered what it means for your characters? Who or what do your characters love, and how much would they sacrifice to be true to that bond? Do they even know how to love, or are they so closed off that they can’t think beyond themselves? Write a scene, story or poem exploring someone’s attitude about love.
