Writing Prompt #118: Unlikeable

Jacob lied to his dad while the guy was on his deathbed. "Yes, dad, I sound like Jacob, but I'm Esau. Totally. Pinkie swear."

How do you justify that to yourself? How do you get there?


How do you like a character while they do something like that?

I'm challenging you to write a character who does a really unlikeable thing. A theft, a betrayal, a swindle. Can you, without belittling the evil, portray a character in the act of something that they know is wrong?

I dare you.
