MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
All conquests deserve a ridiculously self-satisfied laugh.
Yes! I did it! It nearly broke me but I finished my novella. Final word count: 16 946. I submitted it at 11:17 Lauren Time. Coincidentally, Lauren Time is the same as regular daylight savings time. Weird right?
So what's this thing about? Well!
Five people escape a nursing home that is really a stockyard for people about to die. Death runs the place but schedules killing people at his leisure. When he discovers that five of his patients have gone missing he sets out to hunt them down. There's more death, ducks, a budding romance, a trial and a creaky iron gate. The gate is important, I'm just not going to tell you why.
The title took a while. I hate coming up with titles. I'm not especially good at it. It's because of that missing skill that I'll never work in advertising. Anyway, I asked my sister for her opinion. We started goofing off and she came up with: Natural Law and Order: Supernatural Victims Unit. I don't know about you, but I nearly peed myself. It's funnier if you know the whole story... I'm tired okay? It's been a long three days. I thought it was quite clever. I wish I could have used it. My novella's not funny enough to carry it off. It shall by my alternate title.
Yes, it is both natural and supernatural. Because that's the best kind of natural. I am now going to bathe so that I can go to bed and pretend to function like a human tomorrow.
Why is there always so much to do?
Lauren.
