Written for Sammi’s Weekend Writing
Prompt #411 using the word ‘fierce’ in
exactly 36 words. This is my story.
She did the one thing her father forbade; she fell in love. Fiercely, passionately, with reckless abandon. Their secret was ultimately discovered. And in the end there was no love as fierce as her father’s hate.

Hard to imagine a father with so much hatred in his heart that he would deprive his daughter of true happiness. But it happens. Thanks, Cindy.
