-------------------------
Exercise: Write a scene of 400 words or less in which you show the
effects of a love potion.
-------------------------
Imagine that you are in love. The object of your affections may or may
not already love you, but you do not know and cannot bring yourself to
ask. You manage to arrange a date, and you answer an Internet ad for a
love potion that "guarantees" love from the object of your affections.
Your date consumes the potion.
You may vary the circumstances (it need not be a date), and you need
not tell us what's in the potion (but do use it).
Show us the effect of the potion. Does it yield the intended result?

In your critique tell the author whether or not the work fits the
exercise and why--let the author know what worked or didn't, and why.
Does the piece show something about the characters' personalities and
the interaction between them?
