Crimson Dove

No need to read this first attempt. On the table are two cups of wine, one poisoned and one pure. They look identical. The poisoned wine is called Dove's Bane; the pure wine is called Red. Dove's Bane dissolves as soon as it touches the throat. It tastes sweet and spicy, leaving you in a blissful haze. Red wine tastes slightly sour at first, then bitter and astringent, like medicine you’d rather avoid. "Please, have a taste." "What if I drink both?" "You can't have your cake and eat it too." "Then I'll die beneath the peonies." Theme:
