Writing Prompt #456: Strange Scruples


Whenever someone else’s scruples are punishing me, I try to imagine what I would have to believe to attack me the way they’re attacking me.

”If I believed that this video was a child-sacrifice vehicle, I would be as strict as you’re being right now.”

Unfortunately, this usually leads me to,  “…but I’m not making a child-sacrifice vehicle. So why are you so mean? ._.” 

Pick something completely innocent you did today (or something your character did) and figure out what it would take to make you vehemently oppose it. Now take a character doing it and a character opposing it, slam them together and see what happens.

Bonus points for time-traveling to tell yourself not to wash dishes.
