Short Fiction Writing Challenge
In partnership with the National Writing Project of Acadiana + The Current
2025 theme:
”HUBRIS”
Literature is filled with classic tales of hubris— Icarus, Captain Ahab, Lucifer. Evidence of hubris abounds in contemporary everyday life too, on a large scale with The OceanGate Titan Submersible, or a small one like a person pushing limits past heeded warnings at their own peril, or that of someone else. What character or event in your story leads to downfall due to maybe an abundance of pride, confidence, or a disregard for warnings?
