Sweet Evil

This contest is for that light within the dark.
Duality of life itself; the many shades we project.

Interpret as you will.
No restrictions on length.

Rules - use spell check, no chat speak.
Simple enough right?

{{Contest inspired by an amazing friend of mine...}}

So please - go, intrigue me.

Contest will end when.......

Contest is Over

Contest was judged on March 31, 2008
Rewards: Gold: 350, Silver: 200, Bronze: 125
Final notes:
Thank you all for sharing that glimpse of your own thoughts with me here. The 'sweet evil' that exists in so many shapes and forms...

These three just stood out the most for me, and I also had a friend here at work help me choose; just for good measure!

Thank you ALL!!!
