Wrath, Sloth, Pride, Gluttony, Lust, Envy, Greed

The seven, deadly sins.

This month, on the dawn of 2012, I challenge thee clever writers to conjure a tale of one of these sins! The story should embody the meaning of the sin chosen, either through one character or through the plot in its entirety. Be creative! Be enthusiastic! Be dazzling. Y'all know the drill. ;]

The due date for these submissions will be January 28th, at midnight. Since I'm putting this up on January 1st, I will not be extending this date if nothing comes in.

Voting will ensue that day and end by January 31st, at midnight.

Z'eh rules:
1. All submissions will be anonymous. PM them to me and only me.
2. You will be judged partly on spelling, grammar and punctuation, so kindly check your work over before submitting it.
3. Do not ask another member to edit or read your work. Please be your own editor.
4. After the deadline, all submissions will be posted in this thread with numbers instead of usernames. Do not PM anyone saying which is your work, or asking others which is theirs. Also, please do not comment in the thread about which is yours.
5. Please let me know if there is a reason you cannot submit work on deadline (time zone differences, etc.); if it is a valid reason, I will give you an extra day.
6. 500 words is the minimum pieces can be. There is no maximum.
7. No plagiarism of any kind.
8. All genres of writing are accepted.
9. Sexual content, swearing, violence, etc. are allowed.
10. Please put in your PM which sin you are writing about, please and thank you. :]

Bring your stories, forged in the bellows of muse. Your plots, paved with insight and imagination. Your characters, born of experiences bearing both sorrow and joy. Surrender unto me the whole of your being and all that your mind is capable of accomplishing. You shall be reciprocated the same from your comrade in lyrics, your brother of epics, a fellow word-bender, another author-in-arms. Come now, take my hand, and let us all breath life into yet another creation, together.

I can resist quite a few things rather easily lol. I even voted for the last competition, but Skyrim decided I would not participate.

I'll see what goes on, but there just isn't enough reason to be in these anymore.

So you contributed to the failure of last month's competition. SHOO, FIEND! Seriously, though, the reason why y'all think these aren't "worth it" is because you don't have enthusiasm or drive. I'd enter, but I host the stuff.

Pfft. It would just be nice for more people to enter, not just staff. :P

Also, hmm, I would say yes to having more than one sin in the story but... But...

Ah, what the hell. Go for it, just make sure you list the ones used in the submission somewhere in the PM.

Shouldn't Firestarter just automatically win this?

Hahahahahahahah.

...Can I?

If not, I have something in store. But... it'd be awesome to win instantly for that.

The winner will receive a special title. Specifications will be worked out but given that the coding of the actual rewards is messed up, for now, this is the measure we've come up with.

i have a few ideas...
maybe i'll actually get around to writing this one. XP
I'll whisper in your ear,
You are mine, and you will never have to be alone.
And when I pull you near,
You'll know I love you like I never loved anyone.
So let me be the one to lift you up,
I'll carry you home.
'Cause now I'm here to keep you safe,
And to catch you when you fall.
