Well, dang! I wanted to see the chief prevail!
"Incase you don't know chief, People would sell their happiness. That's the power of money. And that's why I will have power over you in your own town" -- and the vaporizing into thin air that follows - {{nooo!!}} - never mind Carol's ambition to "torture the protagonist," which is the name of the game for authors. Noooooo!!!!!
Lol...
Sorry, I guess I am writer with sad endings.
Thanks for reading.
Sad endings are by far the most memorable.
Well, except for Cinderella and other fairy-tale Happily Ever Afters....
Our brains are wired for negative and dangerous stuff; it's an evolutionary adaptation to keep us alive longer. It's safe to forget happy things and dangerous to forget negative things.
Still, I want magic and divine intervention (Just not puppies and rainbows and unicorns) :)
Wow
You just gave it the most thoughtful explanation of why we behave that way and the truth.
Haan no to puppies too... They keep dropping their shits everywhere😷
By the way, your hashtag #freewrites has you and only you showing up; whereas #freewrite (no -s) puts you in the company of hundreds of Steemians, which means more visibility for your posts. Amazing what a difference one little -s can make!
And little 's' just decided to shit on me - Amazing!😢
Lol, Thanks for bringing that to my attention @carolkean
