Say Please

Timely Tales of the Posthumans #6

by Kitty Burroughs

They call her a villain, but Gloria has never really bought into that jazz. She doesn’t believe in hatching nefarious schemes, foiling do-gooders, or setting up shop in an evil lair of her own design. Gloria has never forced anyone to do anything— not on purpose, at least. She always says please first. They always forget that in the movies based on the tragic life story of the Femme Fatale. Gloria knows, because she’s watched them all. They never get it right. Sometimes, she thinks they don’t even try.

Her story was interesting to read about, and I liked the information you got about herself as a "villain". It was also interesting to know how much the media latched on to her story and changed it to a bad lifetime movie. It had a kind of dreamy, not-really-there style that was a nice touch, considering whose point of view it was coming from.

The message I'm getting here is that the love life of a villainess is invariably rocky.
