[#282 | Catharsis] Challenge Post

Challenge 282: CATHARSIS

n. purification or purgation of the emotions (such as pity and fear) primarily through art; a purification or purgation that brings about spiritual renewal or release from tension Sometimes, you just need to feel things. A really good cry, a really good laugh, or a really good scream – whichever it is, it’s good for the soul. Sometimes you can get it through art, maybe a tragic play, or a comedy movie, or a romance novel; other times, you just need to confront your nemesis, or stand in the woods and scream, or laugh until you cry at something that isn’t actually funny. How do your characters find catharsis? Do art or music work for them, or do they need something a little more concrete? Write a story about catharsis. BONUS GOAL: “Are you okay?” If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!
