I write little 100 word stories once a month (First of the Month Fiction: http://pandoraandmax.blogspot.com.au/2014/04/first-of-month-fiction-may.html) and for some reason, they always end up with death and nastiness...even when I try to write a happy one. In the Pirandellian sense, the wicked characters push their way forward to tell their stories and the happy ones get left behind...I keep trying to write happy ones but they're never very good - yet I consider myself to be very happy. So no idea what that's about. So if I was writing a story, there's a good chance someone will die at the end.
