Save the Day

Basing your story line on the classic ‘time-loop’ dilemma, write about someone stuck on the worst day of their life with the option to rewind and replay as required till they get it right.

This thought experiment confronts the complexities of fate, free will, resilience, learning and growth. How does the character react each time the day goes awry, and how does their strategy evolve? How does the torture of constant failure and renewal of hope shape their character?
