How to write a good villain
When we read novels or watch movies and television works, we often feel that the villain is more impressive than the main character, and even has a kind of indescribable charm, so how to make these "childhood shadow" or "dark horse prince" like villain in our own works become "both lovely and hateful"?

Loop Line
It’s out of control. The thought nudged its way into the foreground of her mind, unfurled itself and began to fill out with detail;

For the Woman Sitting Alone in the Red Dress at the Restaurant
She wore a red dress coated in flowers, pully like it had been through the washing machine a few times. Tan sandals. She looked beautiful on the patio in the sun, with dark skin and hair braided down her back. I was working the Sunday shift at the Italian restaurant on the corner, my face and the soles of my shoes tired. The hostess came and told me I had her table. She sat alone. Whenever people sat to eat alone it made me emotional—like they were waiting for someone who never showed up or didn’t have someone to ask.

Mechanically Minded
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. He would laugh if he had been created with a voice box. Instead, 12-11’s shoulders just shook up and down. A cheap imitation of the human equivalent.

Train of Thought
David slowly opened his eyes. As they adjusted to the harsh light, he began to examine his surroundings. From what he could tell, he was on a train. There was the rhythmic clack clack clacking of the tracks, and the chair beneath him was made from the hard, scratched plastic associated with public transport and hospitals.

The Adventures of Springhill Jack
When walking through the green land of Kilt, like the rest of the plane of Randós, it’s important to remember that every step is counted by someone. The men of the north in Terrador take the fewest steps, for every step is taken through knee deep snow. The elves of Lareth take the second fewest, for they live on a collection of small islands scattered through the Opal Ocean. The men and dwarves of Ekarus take many steps, for they hike over tall mountains to make war with one another. However, the men and women of Kilt take the most steps, for they are searching for adventure. They walk with their bare feet across the verdant green fields looking to write their own story and no one has taken more steps or written more tales than the old wizard Springhill Jack.

The Revenge Business
NOX The horn startled him awake. Nox flipped over, slid off the velvet seat and whacked his head on the wall. On the floor, he felt the pulse of the tracks beneath him.

Dead Man's Switch
It’s the scratching sound that wakes him. Raspy and clipped. Irritating. When he opens his eyes, there’s a woman sitting across from him, filing her nails. A mop of black ringlets frames her face, but the look she’s rocking is defiantly white: pearly gown, chalky high tops, fingerless mittens, alabaster skin. Protruding from her shoulders is a formidable set of wings, their milky feathers glistening like meringue.
