Welcome to the August vignette. Go nuts and have fun!
Prompt
The slightest push, the smallest touch, sends echoes throughout life. Even an act of kindness may have more severe repercussions than you know or can see. By giving someone something he or she has not earned, perhaps all you have helped them become is a target. Seeing another elevated often brings the eyes of others who suffer. And perhaps in the end, all you have wrought is more pain. And that is my lesson to you. Be careful of charity and kindness, lest you do more harm with open hands than with a clenched fist.
Your character is forced into a situation where they must choose between doing the right thing, or doing the thing that benefits them the most. Upon making the choice, you must show the consequences of either action you chose, and what lessons were learned as a result.
Vignette Close Date
August 31st, 2023 at midnight EST
Rules
1. One submission per character.
2. All entries have to be within the declared period. Editing your post and completely changing your submission is okay as long as all the edits occur before midnight EST on the closing day.
3. The moderator judging the monthly vignette contest may post a vignette at the end, but will not be eligible for first or second place.
4. Only on-topic vignettes are liable for rewards. The topics are broad enough that no character should be particularly limited.
5. PCs must be involved in all vignettes. How "canonical" you choose to have the events of the vignette is up to you.
6. All participants receive EXP. The top two finishers also receive GP. (Clarification: this excludes off-topic submissions, as per Rule 4).
7. Entries are assessed on the following merits:
Use of topic: Did the writer use the topic, or write something completely random and off topic?
Creativity: Did the writer make something unique out of the topic or was it more cliche?
Mechanics: Basic writing mechanics: spelling, grammar, punctuation, word usage, etc.
