Rise of the Unassuming Villain

Write a story about a seemingly ordinary character who evolves into a villain due to a series of unfortunate events.

Despite our innate tendency to label people as ‘good’ or ‘evil’, true human nature often lies somewhere in the gray area. In your story, depict a path of an ‘ordinary Joe’, whose life circumstances push him to the brink, turning him into a villain. Delve deep into their psyche, and analyze what circumstances, choices, or traumas skewed their moral compass. This prompt encourages an exploration of moral fluidity, character transformation, and the impact of life circumstances.
