I don’t find it hard to write characters. I am everyone I’ve ever written and everyone I have yet to write. All rolled into one. Hundreds of people all fighting for control. From minute to minute I might be five different people. If I didn’t write them away onto the page, into existence, I wouldn’t …

What the hell was that noise? Did you hear it? Wait, just be quiet a minute… … No… Nothing… Never mind… Wh… What’s that smell? Wait a minute… I think it’s me. It… It is me! I think my brain blew a gasket of some nature. Maybe it ran in too many circles, over the …
Guess
