✒️Written Tales Member Challenge

Prompt: The Quiet Rebellion

Sometimes the loudest moments are the quietest ones.
A look. A breath held. A choice not to speak.

For this week’s Member Challenge, we invite you to write about a moment where silence changed everything. Maybe it saved someone. Perhaps it ended a friendship. Maybe it burned a world to the ground.

Whatever the outcome, the heart of this challenge is tension—how something so small can shift everything.
