Defying Orders

Create a story where your main character is a soldier who disobeys an order.

The theme of defiance against authority has been a classic in war stories as it typically poses a moral quandary. This writing prompt encourages you to explore what would push your protagonist to defy a direct command. How does this act of rebellion shape their character? What consequences do they face and how does it affect their relationships within the unit? This invites exploration of the grey areas between duty and morality, and the price of individual decision making in times of war.
