Writing Prompt #20: Out of Character

Write about character trying to respect and honor someone who’s acting some way that’s out of character or unfitting to their position.

The king has dementia. The father is delusional on medicine. Your ship’s captain is making a decision you know he would say is wrong. The girl he loves is drunk. What are you going to do? How do you respect someone when they’re drooling, crazy, or doing something wrong?

Find a way to honor them right where they are.
