[sethoz]

Please post a link here to your ficlet, but ficlets in comments are fine as well, so long as they are less than 500 words. If you do write the ficlet on your own page, please put the quote behind an lj-cut tag (or hidden in some way), so as not to spoil anyone for the quote that inspired it.

This week's quote is:

"He hath given his empire
Up to a whore." - Antony and Cleopatra, by Shakespeare
