A writing exercise done for a fiction writing class. This is centered around an unnamed character relevant to a longer work of mine that I am still in the process of writing. The aim of this piece was to write three scenes, collectively to under 1,000 words, in which the character goes through an arc in three parts & the arc's climax happens offscreen. This is his perspective before and after the climax of the bigger story he's meant to be a part of. Comment your questions & I am happy to answer them, since I know this piece doesn't give readers a lot of information to work with (& this was by design).
