The theme for the February 2012 Challenge is "Dressing Down."
And I'm not referring to casual Fridays.
Your challenge is to write a story where a character (or characters) receives a severe "dressing down" - a scenario where the character(s) is confronted with an actual or perceived failure, slight, insult, miscommunication, insensitive behavior, etc.
Possible scenarios . . .
- A verbal reprimand by a superior officer
- A spat between two people in a relationship
- A confrontation between peers
- A diplomatic faux pas
Use your imagination. Make it awkward. Make it intense. Make it emotional. Or make it funny. Just make it within the following boundaries:
Good luck and good writing!
