Challenge 270: PRIDE

...goes before a fall? Pride isn’t always a bad thing, of course. Confidence in yourself, satisfaction in a job well-done, open self-acceptance – all of those might fall under the category of being proud, and those are generally good things! But taken too far, pride can make things difficult; too much pride might stop you from accepting help, be off-putting to friends or family, or even turn into dangerous overconfidence. Are your characters proud, justifiably or otherwise? Write a story about pride. BONUS GOAL: “What are you worried about? It’s me.” If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!
