2700

Was cranking it out today with no regard for scene or description or anything at all, really. Racing through the story. Wanted to get down exactly how the brothers interacted when they were young and how exactly Martin managed to convince Oskar of his guilt.

Started with a game of D&D. Martin as DM. Oskar railroaded into the evil magician role. Martin already squeamish around Oskar since he knows about the abuse. Interesting but no longer hard difficult to believe that Martin should loathe his brother or that he would continue to reinforce Oskar's delusions about his magical powers. Or of course, are they delusions?

Anyway the entire thing will have to be re-written at some point, there is nothing salvageable , but it is a good solid piece of backstory that ties things together. I'm thinking of ways for the brothers to exchange to exchange notes when they're imprisoned by the cult.

Anyway I'm supposed to be making a mess, so I'm making one.

Went surfing after the writing. Dawn patrol. Waves about thigh high and breaking for a long time. Cruising on my longboard. That's the way to start a Sunday.
