Designing the Climax

Design the climax of your story and the emotional reactions of your characters.

The climax is the point of highest tension in a story, where conflicts reach a head, actions are irreversible, and characters are pushed to their limits. Write about this ultimate breaking point in your story, considering the series of events leading up to it and the aftermath. This prompt requires you to create a compelling, high-stakes scenario that challenges your characters and changes their lives or perspectives.
