It’s Wednesday! Halfway to the end of the work week.

Happy April 1, folks!
Prompt Type: Change it up
Think about your hero/protagonist and what motivates them. Boil it down to one vice or virtue–love, greed, envy, fear, hope, etc.–that drives what they do.
Now change it up. How would your protagonist be different if betrayal motivated them? Write a character sketch or scene detailing how hope motivates the actions of your hero/protagonist.
