"The Green-eyed Monster"
#WritcoStoryPrompt121



Once upon a time in a small town, there lived a young girl named Lily. Lily was a talented artist who spent hours with her paintbrush and canvas, creating beautiful works of art that captivated everyone who saw them. Her best friend, Sarah, admired Lily's talent but couldn't help feeling a twinge of jealousy as she watched her friend receive the praise and attention she craved for herself.

As Lily's art began to gain recognition, Sarah's jealousy grew into a consuming green-eyed monster that lurked within her, feeding on her insecurities and doubts. She began to distance herself from Lily, unable to bear the thought of being in her friend's shadow any longer.

One day, a prestigious art gallery in the city invited Lily to showcase her work in a solo exhibition. Excited and overwhelmed by the opportunity, Lily eagerly accepted, but Sarah's jealousy reached its peak. Unable to contain her envy any longer, Sarah devised a plan to sabotage Lily's exhibition.

On the night of the grand opening, Sarah snuck into the gallery and defaced Lily's paintings, leaving behind a trail of destruction. When the truth came to light, Sarah's jealousy had cost her the friendship she cherished so dearly.

The green-eyed monster had consumed Sarah's heart, leaving her with nothing but regret and the realization that the true cost of jealousy is the loss of what one once held dear.

As time passed, Sarah learned to confront her jealousy and appreciate the value of her friendship with Lily. She began to nurture her own talents and eventually found her own path to success, but the memory of her envy and the damage it caused would forever serve as a reminder of the powerful and destructive force of jealousy.
