Falling Action

Write about what happens immediately after the climax, when the dust finally settles.

The climax isn’t just about the pinnacle of struggle, but also the immediate afterward — the ‘falling action’ that leads towards the resolution. Use this prompt to explore the immediate repercussions of the climax. How did the climax alter the world of your characters? Take your audience through their first moments, reactions, and feelings after the climax and explore how they make sense of what just happened and set the story onto the path of resolution.
