Happy Valentine’s Day! Get some chocolate, a glass of wine, fire up the old 80s love ballads, and use the following character sketch to flesh out a romantic short story.

Your character is an adventurous male. He is tall, dark and brooding, but not in an overwhelming, glum way… there’s a twinkle in those eyes that hints at something devilish.

He has a gambling problem but he’s working on it. In the zippered pocket of his gear bag, he carries a poker chip from his last outing. Also in the gear bag are his prized possessions: an EMF meter, a night-vision camera and a very sharp hunting knife.

And… go. Good luck!
