The Mind of a Villain

Write a short story from the perspective of a traditional villain, revealing their motives and thoughts.

Typically, the villain is simply the adversary of the protagonist, and their internal machinations are glossed over or ignored. For this narrative, delve into their psyche. What are their motivations? What are their personal traits, their histories, and their justifications? Explore this uncharted territory and try to make your readers empathize with a character they’d usually dislike.
