I got in deep shit because of a stupid “creative writing” project where the inciting incident was prewritten and you had to finish it. It was something like “you threw a rock and accidentally hit a car and dented it, and you felt terrible so…” , obviously bait for apologizing.

Fuck that. In mine the character refused to admit wrong-doing, went insane and was institutionalized and eventually lobotomized (a la jack Nicholson).

DEEP shit.
