Contained Fury – The Betrayed Friend

Write a scene where your character discovers a best friend’s betrayal and their anger is palpable, even though they don’t confront the friend or say anything about it.

A betrayed trust can drive many dramatic storylines. With this prompt, use the power of emotional subtext to explore how a character deals with such a discovery. The conflict here is internal, and you can examine how anger impacts a person’s other emotions and actions without it being explicitly expressed. This prompt encourages exploring the contrast between their internal emotional turmoil and their outward appearance.
