Guilt’s Embrace

Write a piece wherein a character has done something they deeply regret and must grapple with their guilt.

This is a chance to delve deep into the human conscience. Guilt is a complex and consuming emotion; how does your character cope with it? Do they retreat and suffer in silence or seek redemption in some way? Is their guilt justified or has guilt been mistaken for another emotion? Understanding and expressing guilt might allow you to explore themes such as remorse, responsibility, redemption, and even self-perception.
