This will be the longest completed piece I have ever done in my entire life. A far cry from my 2200-word short stories. (The 400-page soap opera about Duran Duran that I wrote in grade nine doesn't count, because I abandoned it when a-ha came on the scene.)

I will finish. I can feel it. And then I will sleep.
