To quote Lionel Ritchie (boy, does that date me!) "Outrageous!".

I finished my story about an hour ago. Total page-count for two chapters was 12 pages. The final chapter I wrote in the space of the day.

I didn't intend to kill one of the principal characters... thing is, continuity and plot drove me down that path. Plus, the character himself didn't want me to change from this path.
