Challenge 270:
PRIDE

...goes before a fall?

Pride isn’t always a bad thing, of course. Confidence in yourself, satisfaction in a job well-done, open self-acceptance – all of those might fall under the category of being proud, and those are generally good things! But taken too far, pride can make things difficult; too much pride might stop you from accepting help, be off-putting to friends or family, or even turn into dangerous overconfidence.

Are your characters proud, justifiably or otherwise?

Write a story about pride.

BONUS GOAL: “What are you worried about? It’s me.”

If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!

Challenge ends Monday, August 11 at 9:00PM EST.

Photograph of a young Vietnamese couple in a sunny urban environment, with added text: Marriage of Convenience, at Fancake. A bride in a white dress and sunglasses leaves her groom behind at a bus stop. The bride is smiling and carrying a bouquet of lilies as she hikes up the long skirt of her dress and walks away. The groom is in the background, wearing a dark grey suit and sitting on a bench. He's blurry, but it looks like he might be smiling at her.
