Remember the supreme sexiness of crafting me ditties about laundry, taxes and going to the dentist? Well, damn--this is going to be a bit boring by comparison. Write me a sweet, neat love poem or story set in the most maudlin or repulsive of situations or settings. Tag me in the comments, please. #loveamongstthestench

You want a love story? Alright. I should warn you, this one doesn't have a happy ending. Everyone always expects love stories to end with them ending up together. I personally call bullshit. I have loved a total of twice in my lifetime, and both have ended in failure. The first was when I was younger than I am today. We met on a trip, and it was a whirlwind romance of me being denied every step of the way. I wore down his steep walls only to be given a "we should just be friends" a week into dating. Then there is the more recent one, a sexual love. We had passion that would have made the gods jealous, and I loved him. The issue was that he was thinking with his dick and I with my heart. Well I followed the same pattern, ignored all the warning signs, and got hit with another god damned we should be friends. So there's your love story. Except this main character didn't get his guy, he just got a pint.
