Happy Valentine's Day!

Taken from Google Images

So, this week we are talking about theme: universal ideas that anyone (well, aside from sociopaths) can understand.  Since it is the day of the year dedicated to LOVE, you are going to base your prompt around this theme.  There are many forms of love - not just romantic love.  Also, love isn't always sunshine and gum drops and rainbows.  Love can be hard; love can be tough.  Make sure that as you write this prompt, you consider the following:
1. Creating Scene/Setting
2. Believable Characters that DO something!
3. Effective Dialogue
4. Maintaining Theme

There is a catch for this prompt, however!  Using Day 44's prompt from The Write-Brain Workbook, you must make up a sentence that begins your story with words containing the following letters: T, S, L, M, A, B.  An example the book gives: "Tracy Stone loved marbles and baubles" or "The sprite leprechaun missed a beat".  See what crazy sentence you can create for the first line of your short story dedicated to that four letter word we just LOVE!
