January 5th is American Divorce Day! It was on this day in 1643 that Anne Clark was granted the first divorce in what would later become the United States. In honor of this day, think about two characters you have (primary or secondary, or even tertiary if your cast is large enough to support it) that are either happily married or at least together in some way, shape, or form. Now write the worst possible scene you can think of when their relationship ends. Make it so that nobody will ever believe in love again. For the whole thing, do not use the word "divorce" or the phrase "I think we should see other people/break up". And bonus points if you can find a way to incorporate a "wife sale" such as the one on the right into a contemporary work. Have fun!
P.S. Sorry that this is technically on the sixth, but I forgot about it.
