Writing Prompt – Day 60
At some point in your story, a character says “You’re better than this…”.
My example :
I feel a rush of adrenaline wash over me as all logic escapes my mind. I don’t care what happens to me anymore. I will do whatever it takes to get justice.
“Nat, what are you doing?!” I hear someone screaming far in the distance behind me. I don’t look back. I already know that I’m too far ahead for anyone to catch up to me before it’s too late so there’s no sense in finding out who is trailing me. I don’t want to be stopped. I can’t be stopped.
I remain looking forward. Leaves are crunching beneath my feet as my breathing becomes heavier. I am still hearing desperate screams behind me, begging me to stop, but it doesn’t stop me. In fact, I find myself picking up the pace. It won’t be too long before I find him. And trust me, he will pay for what he’s done.
I’m about a block away from my destination, or so I think, when I stop abruptly. I’m frozen in place. This was the last thing I expected to see. I need to look away, but I can’t help it. I can feel bile in the back of my throat, but I can’t let myself get sick. I need to get it together. Even though I feel a brief moment of panic, I know I can do this. I shake my thoughts away. I tell myself that this is not going to stop me from what I plan on doing, and it doesn’t because my feet start moving again.
Even though there’s plenty of distance between me and whoever is following me, I can hear their movement behind me. And I can still hear them yelling. “Natalie, don’t do this! Please! Nat, you’re better than this!”
I stop for a brief second, considering these words carefully. Even though I already know they aren’t going to stop me. I’ve already come to terms that my life is going to be over. But then again, so is his. And that makes it all worth it. You’ll see.

Great blog post! I really enjoyed reading the intense and gripping scene you painted. The line “You’re better than this!” added a layer of emotional complexity to the story. It made me wonder, what led the character to the point where they believe their life is over? Can you provide more insight into the character’s motivations and the journey they are on?

Thank you so much for your comment! I really appreciate everything you said! You know, as I was writing I wasn’t certain of what the character’s journey and motivations were, I was more so writing off of her emotions and experiencing the scene with her. But it would be fun to explore this. You got my wheels turning now which I appreciate!
