Lucille? A dramatic and unreliable narrator? Never!
The genesis for this chapter came from a recent replay of Far Cry 5 (3's my favorite, but 5's pretty good too). Lucille's worldview is limited, and the unknown is scary, especially in tough times plagued with a feeling of paranoia. Did she really stumble upon some sort of Charles Manson cult or was this just the average rural house in my college days? She's facing something unfamiliar and defaults to being scared, which isn't the best, but is also human. But the fact that's she growing beyond her limited worldview, little by little, growing pains and all, is the direction I'd like to take her character in.
I can't imagine doing California north to south. But at least you're not surrounded by Masshole drivers.
Also - thanks for your support on this. Gonna be focusing on the J Novel contest so I won't be posting for a while (hope you can still sense the autumn feeling in a chapter posted in February!). Though, I do want to write one more chapter before putting these characters on ice for a few months.
So again, thanks for always reading and commenting!
