Love Bites: Noir

Love is rotten to the core, and that's what makes it so good. It's the poisoned apple you willingly sink your teeth into, knowing it will mess up everything in your life and end so many of your good resolutions. At least that's the way it sometimes is for me. Doesn't end well, but there's that apple all shiny and glossy right in front of you--how can you not take a bite? When the dame in the red dress walked into my office, I knew two things. I knew she was rotten to the core, and I knew I was about to take a big ole bite of her poison. I guess I'm just lucky that it ended up being my happily ever after, and not my death, although we weren't sure there for a while.

Inspiration: "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love" - Van Halen
Story Potential: Medium
Notes: I like the character and the voice, but the story's nothing new.
