[#008 | SCHADENFREUDE] CHALLENGE POST

Challenge 008:
SCHADENFREUDE

(noun.) a feeling of pleasure or satisfaction when something bad happens to someone else

While satisfaction can be a powerful emotion, and one that's often overlooked in the face of more volatile or profound ones like anger or joy, schadenfreude often carries connotations of a victory or triumph, or otherwise enjoyment of someone else's suffering. People sometimes have trouble accepting that emotion, while others revel in it.

Write a story where someone feels schadenfreude at someone else's misfortune, and how it makes them feel.

BONUS GOAL: "You had it all along?"

If your submission contains this line of dialogue, that entry will earn an extra point to be tallied during voting!
