Write about a character who sacrifices something for someone/something else. Think about the scene in the Lord of the Rings where Gandalf falls from the Bridge of Khazad Dum ON PURPOSE to defeat the Balrog once and for all, so no one else will have to face it again. This can be poetry or prose, a full short story or a single chapter from the beginning/middle/end of a would-be book... As long as the character is yours, do whatever it takes to pull at our heartstrings! Tag me in the comments!
