“Look on the wall behind you. Look at that little girl’s face. I know you’ve seen it. But you know what she’s never going to be able to see? She’s never going to be able to see the simple wonder of a leaf in her hand. Because there’s not going to be any trees. Now you think about that.”
– Bruce Dern, born this date in 1936.
Writing prompt: Write a scene in which your protagonist must enforce an unjust rule or law on a friend who is doing the right thing, who then destroys him/herself rather than suffer your protagonist’s enforcement.
