Hate
100 words

As enemies, they'd been a shining example of what a powerful emotion "hate" was. Scathing words and death dealing stares punctuated a complicated, hateful relationship.

Some didn't truly know how it started or why they carried on so hatefully. Most people liked to believe their hatred for each other was based on the fact that they were the contrast of the other.

A brave few mused that beneath the hatred there was something more. There was something too intimate about it, something that made this hatred their own. It wasn't over-generalized; it was specific to their feelingsand each other.
