The Devil ain't legend, the Devil's real
Jun. 6th, 2006 11:38 pmI think the plague has loosened its grip. I opened a story today, and words fell out.
"Blue Valentine" (aka the Ded Charlie story from way back in the day)
Words today: 1666
Words total: 3544
Sustenance: peanut butter sammich
Exercise: none since Sunday, alas. Stupid plague.
Reason for stopping: quota, and time to watch a movie with the boy.
Tyop: His eyes sank shut. I don't know how that works.
Darling: Chloe trailed behind him, silent as the dead. Which was a lie, of course; it had been a long time since the dead had been quiet around him.
Mean things: made Val relive his friend's suicide; nasty headache afterward
Deaths: Charlie has been dead all this time
This story suffers from a deal with the devil, vampires, and a lack of shininess. Not to mention expositional dialogue--oh my god. But I love it anyway. It can be my next unsellable darling.
