Progress

“I wanted to go back.”

“We all wanted to go back.”

“I wanted my family!” “Who knows what's going on with them?!”

“I don’t blame you.”

“I just wanted to go home. I just wanted Martha to have a good life.”

“I know. I know, Arthur.”

“You don’t!”

“I do. Perhaps more than everyone else in this castle.” “It’ll be okay.” “It’s going to be okay.”

“I shouldn’t have gotten you involved. If I knew this—”

“It’s okay.”

“I don’t understand why you’d forgive me. I got us all in this mess. It cost us our lives. It practically killed us, for fuck’s sake!”

“It’s ’cause none of this is your fault.” “Do you want to know why I signed onto this job?”

“Why?”

“When I see you, I see myself.” “I just wish you would’ve told me about your problem earlier. Maybe we wouldn’t be in this mess. Who knows?” “But I know I’d be by your side, gunning down those who deserve it in a heartbeat.” “You are more than just a friend, Arthur. You’re my brother.”

“Thank you.” “Thank—”

“Don’t worry about it.”

Hello again. I'm not dead.

Above is an unfinished scene from Chapter 3. I don't need to explain what it's about. I'm sure you can figure it out.

Progress has been slow. A lot more slow than I'd like. I have no excuse for it.

Truth is, I don't see myself as a good enough writer. You heard it all already. My words are probably useless now, after repeating them so much.

I've done little writing since my last post. But I've done some planning. I have a clear picture of how I want my story to end, but I have no idea how to get there.

Good news is, the first part of the story is getting worked out. I say that because the coming chapters aren't set in stone. I have a clear destination for it and I know how I want to get there.

Anyways, I just wanted to let you know that I haven't given up on my story and it is moving (barely). Plus, I've been wanting to work on a story for the most wasted villain in the show. The plans for actually plotting it is also not set in stone, but it's definitely something to look forward to.

To close this off, I would like to thank those who stuck with my story from the very first beginning. You are the most loyal people I have ever had. I promise it will pay off in the end. That I owe to you.

Thanks for reading. Peace.
