The villain stopped his swagger immediately upon hearing the hoot of the owl perched on the lower bough of a tree snuggled in the musky forest. His tough aura vanished as he sat on the log. He reached for the container in which he kept the sodden cowslip leaves until they were distilled to perfection for their use as a oily tincture to stain his viol until it glistened. He drew the bow to strike the signal for the maiden to come to him. She was lovely in her desire for him to ask her to marry him. How he wished he were free from this villain in his soul!

ABOUT ME
Hello. To various folks I am Neat’nee, Mom, Grandma Neta, Gramma, Aunt Neta, Aunt Noni, Aunt Neno, and Aunt Neto (lots of varieties from little nieces and nephews). To some I’m more like “Didn’t you used to be my teacher?” or “Don’t I know you from someplace?” To you, perhaps, I am a Fellow Blogger. Not “fellow” like a male or a guy, but “fellow” like a companion or an adventurer. I would choose to be Grandma Blogger, and have you pull up a chair, my website before you, while I tell you of some days of yore. I have experienced life much differently than most of you. It was and is a good life. I hope to share nuggets of appreciation for those who have gone before me and those who come after me. By necessity you are among those who come after me and I will tell you of those who came before. Once upon a time in a little house on a prairie - oops, change that lest I commit plagiarism - and change that “house on the prairie” to “dugout on the prairie.” So my story begins...
The villainous soal or self made man? There’s an underlying sadness within the words.
It is much more common for a “villian” to cloak himself in the “good guy” image than the other way round as depicted in my story. Thanks for commenting. I enjoyed the challenge.
Yes it most certainty is but that makes for a nice twist
Thanks, 😀
Sounds like the typical slicked down hair of a natural villain – boo, hiss! Seriously very good use of those prompts.
😀 Thanks.
Clever use of the prompt words. You have written a interesting piece. Thank you.
Thanks, Faye. What are you doing awake? I thought this was your sleeping time.
Bravo!!
I was tempted to make a “sermonette” out of this. It is so true that many are bound to sinful reputations caused by greed and pride, plus whatever? Only Jesus can strip away that bondage, and set a spirit free. See sermonette material, huh?
