Serendipitous Deception

Write a story where you unintentionally betray someone you care about and the process of making amends.

Betrayal isn’t always malicious and sometimes can be born of misunderstanding or careless actions. Describe the circumstances that led to the inadvertent betrayal, the fallout, and your struggle to seek forgiveness. Reflect on the emotions felt during this process – regret, sadness, desperation, and how it has shaped you as an individual. This prompt encourages introspection on personal actions, empathy for others and the courage required to accept and correct mistakes.
