Normally, in almost every single scenario, book and movie alike, the hero wins. They usually go through tribulation, almost fail and reach their lowest point, but rise back up, rally their strength, and succeed in defeating the villain despite all they went through.

In this contest, I want you to do the exact opposite.

I want you to create a story where the villain succeeds in defeating the hero, instead of the other way around. The hero comes so far, is so sure that they are going to come out on top, but dies despite all their efforts to save humanity.

The story can be any genre, Dystopian, Fantasy, Romance, Mystery, whatever you want, as long as the hero dies in the end.

Rules:

~No graphic sexual talk or actions.

~Minimal cursing.

~The hero must be dead by the end of the story.

~One entry per contestant.

~No world limit.

~Use trigger warnings as needed.

Can't wait to read what you come up with! :)
