Challenge 242: TRAGEDY

n. a disastrous event; calamity; misfortune; a drama portraying someone’s downfall Not every story can end happily. So what happens when they don’t? Maybe your protagonists are just a few minutes too late to save the day, or maybe their decisions brought about the calamity in the first place. Maybe they did everything they could, but whatever they’re facing just can’t be defeated. Or maybe the tragedy didn’t happen to your protagonists at all, but they’ve seen it happen – a cautionary tale, or someone else’s failure that they couldn’t prevent. How did it happen? What are they going to do about it now? Write a story about a tragedy. BONUS GOAL: Stormy Skies If your submission features rain, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!
