I really don't want to do that and am striving to make a story where the lack of a death of a main character doesn't necessarily make the story worse.<br /><br />I kind of get sick of people killing off characters that I've come to enjoy.Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542683203952246031.post-49073546148768998192012-06-25T12:55:51.435-05:002012-06-25T12:55:51.435-05:00people get killed in a thriller all the time! and ...people get killed in a thriller all the time! and usually just when you got to know them =)<br /><br />wonder where that guy is now...Tara Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07587802105993889515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542683203952246031.post-8776887686832465302012-06-25T07:16:59.465-05:002012-06-25T07:16:59.465-05:00Odd story!

By the time I got to that scene, it became one of the most difficult things ever to write.Alex J.

And yes, I feel a little sad unless it's some particularly heinous individual, in which I feel satisfied in administering my own brand of justice :-) I would have loved to see your friend as Dracula, BTW.Lihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08831231531918915804noreply@blogger.com
