kay. Posting prologue from Satan's Bride: Prologue If there was a Guinness world record for bad days, I bet that mine would be at the top. Just like Shania Twain’s song, Honey I’m Home, I’d messed up my clothes, was in a hurry since I was late, forgotten my purse, but then I’d also been pulled over because of a broken taillight, and since I didn’t have my drivers license with me, left behind with my purse at home, I’d been taken into the station to get some things signed, some things sorted out, and that had taken almost 3 hours, by which time I was really late for work, and had to endure a 20 minute long rant about how unreliable some people were, and that why did he hire then, and did I know that hire rhymed with fire, and that could easily be the road that I would go down? No, it wasn’t, and I had to work harder, longer, faster then before, but that pressure, I had to admit, was good for me, it made my work better, I almost was better under pressure, but I could become quite snappy when it came to it. Not even I could stay that long at work when it came down to it, so around 1 am, I had staggered back home. Only to find my apartment broken into, the place trashed. And the person who’d broken in? Yeah, they were still there, and now, they were holding a gun to my head. I was speechless, frozen, a rare occurrence, before. But I found my voice. Part of it, anyway, enough to talk. “What do you want?” I whispered between numb lips. “I think you know” it was a guy-that much was clear. “No I don’t! I have no idea why you’re here” I cried out. His hand twitched, and the gun slammed against my cheek, the pain was blinding, and a cracking sound made me sure that my cheek bone was broken. “Toby, Toby, Toby” he tsked. “Now, tell me what I want to know!” “I don’t know!” that earned me another slap from the gun, this one on my left temple. I felt faint. “I don’t know what you’re talking about!” I cried, tears starting to fall. “I honestly don’t know!” “Toby Mark, you know what I’m talking about” he snarled. “I hate that name” I hunched, not wanted to bring more pain to myself, but my parents had been evil, giving me boys names. “What did you say?” he snapped. “That I hate that name” I said, loud and clear, and winced at a blow that I was expecting that never came. “Why do you have you name?” he asked, curious. “Because it’s a boy name” I said. “Names” I corrected myself, hoping that this stalling would mean that maybe Amy or the Chincoloos who I knew would be home would call 911 and that the police would come. But I didn’t hear any sirens. That could be a good thing, I thought, since that meant that when-not if-they came, that he would be caught unawares and be locked up. My cheek agreed to that fate for him, but my temple wasn’t so sure. He seemed smart, since he had found one of my hiding stops, the one for the sentimental jewelry, that was worthless money wise, but had memories for me, which was ok, since all it seemed that he’d done was rifle through it, like everything that in here, like he’d been still searching for something. Something that he hadn’t found yet. What, I didn’t know, but I knew that. “And you’re a girl” “Yeah, I’m a girl, What of it?” “You’ll regret that one day, and this day” “I already have, all day I’ve been wanting to go back” That was when I heard the shot. And smelt the gun powder. And saw the bullet. And tasted the blood. My blood. And felt the pain, the white, sharp, pain that when through my other cheek, I wasn’t one for religion, but I prayed to god that this could all be over. But then I realized that that was never going to happen. So, instead, I prayed to the devil, hoping that it would be ok, that this day hadn’t happened, that things would be ok, as I fell to the floor in pain, collapsed, and faded away. And deep in the bowels of hell, the Devil looked up and smiled-he had a new victim.
hope you like!

Ok, I have 116k. Do you think I can get 4k in 20 min? I don't think so! That would mean 200 words a min, and even I can't go that fast! Oh, well! I can get a few other things!

My WC for nano right now is 202k I like it, but I wish I could've gotten more on HDC. Last year, I got 51k in 24 days? I started on the 5th, and I finished on the saturday, so 23 days. But yeah. I am sad that my teacher is sick, but happy that it means that one, I don't have BANDB rehersals today, so came home early, and due to some deals, no senior band tomorrow, so not another early day. So I'm happy with that. I'm going to attach the notes that are mostly copied and pasted from 2 or so websides, and can you tell me which parts you like? Don't like? Ok if you don't want to-it is seventeen k, but yeah

Here is the list of titles with the plots. It is long. And some of them don't have titles. And some don't have plots. But yeah And here is the first lines of new book called facing the sun: The night came to a close, the sun rose slightly in brilliant colours. I observed from a distance of over 200 miles, with specially tinted sunglasses to protect my eyes. Some myths were true, and some weren’t, but sensitivity to sun was one of them for me. That I had to go to sleep, that wasn’t true. And the latest line from HDC: “I’m Corrine Baen, and I’m standing here in front of a very busy building. Just yesterday, this building caught on fire, while it’s occupants were at a special party in the building adjacent” Corrine nodded at another building. Haley’s attention caught onto that. So the humans didn’t know about her and Atlantis being in there? Must’ve been something that Apceus or someone did, since they had been seen. Attachments:
