Antinomy
  1. Contradiction or opposition, especially between two laws or rules.
  2. A contradiction between principles or conclusions that seem equally necessary and reasonable; a paradox.
[Latin antinomia, from Greek antinomi : anti-, anti- + nomos, law; see nem- in Indo-European roots.]

He stared at his reflection in the restaurant window. A woman passing by glanced at him, blushing and thinking he was looking at her, but his focus was on himself. Some would call him a god, handsome and perfect. By looks alone, people assumed goodness in him.

If only they knew the antinomy of his personality. The ugliness that lay beneath the beauty. He should thank whatever divine being that created him. His appearance allowed him free reign. No one ever suspected him. A smile twisted his lips and he rose, leaving the building.

Especially not that woman.

Today's prompt was inspired by Story Dam's post on villains... albeit loosely. ;)

Thanks. I love writing short, little twisted pieces. They are fun and can leave enough to the reader's imagination.

Haha, I hate when I'm looking at something through glass and a person wanders by. The mistakes feel so awkward.

That's why I never stare out windows when at places. LOL
