From a young age we’re taught to do what we’re told, no questions asked. If a parent tells you to clean up your room, you go do it. Later on, if a teacher tells you to open your history book, you comply.

Then when your boss says to wipe out the computer’s memory, you stop and contemplate if that’s what you’re really being asked to do.

There’s a certain code drilled into us that tells us we must do what an authoritarian figure tells us to do. But when commanded to do something that feels wrong, seems illegal or questionable, we hesitate. When the act is discovered, who will be blamed?

Your task is to write a story in which defying authority plays a central role.
