But y'all should know me better by now! Shame. On the bright side, I got you. I got you good. @Helen – I realised, post-publishing, how unfunny this would be if the reader started out genuinely thinking he was dead. But y’all should know me better by now! Shame.

'He died in a car accident due to the rain and fatigue! No, he got into a fight with the bus stop junkie and out came the bead-encrusted switchblade! No, he died of completely unrelated causes and this story is going to be about her deepest regret and tragic guilt of being wasted in the Cross instead of in a position to save him...' But really, I should've known better haha. Great work.
