"Dear Edward,
I am reading your book. It is devastating." ...ly awful. My God, he must be getting it self-published again, it's the only explanation. That, or he really did write it just for me. After 20 years, and he can't let the obsession go. Since the restraining order has been lifted, maybe he'll even feel it within his rights to start stalking us again, how exciting! If he didn't learn his lesson from that one time he followed us to the abortion clinic, yikes, that was way harsh. Man, I hope he answers, I can use some drama to my life right now. That doesn't just involve me being an over-drugged, cheated-on, west-coast clone of my mom. Too ironic that I ended up like this. -------------------- Lord, it's almost as bad the time I binge-read all of Dan Brown's books, but those were at least good water-cooler talk material. This crap is worse than Anne's seventh grade creative writing exercises. I mean I told him not to always write about himself and this is what he comes up with? Is he trying to prove me wrong or right, I don't even get it. And has he never seen a cop thriller before, this is not how investigations wor-ACK! Sheesh, just a bird against the window, I told Hutton we should get those bird silhouette stickers. Their banality would perfectly match the Koontz, hahaha. Stop moving, bird, you're making me feel bad. Gotta say, the personal touch to his story, it's not nothing. Properly creepy, really. I get to feel on edge all the time, all these little thrills. Not too terrifying - Edward would never actually do anything - and still slightly meaningful... just what I needed in my life right now. If not for the botox I bet my face would contort all Grinch-like with gleeful evil excitement. -------------------- Holy crap, he answered! Gotta play this cool now. Meet somewhere public obviously, he must be seriously deranged if he thought that was a good ending to his book. Oh hahaha! Now i get it! It's an allegory of his erectile dysfunction! The whole book! Poor dude. But does that mean he actually came to terms with that? Only one way to find out. --------------------- This lipstick makes me look old. Can't have that. If anything I should look younger than when he last saw me. My boobs are still nice'n'perky, for sure. These babies are still gonna stand rock-solid when all the flesh rots off my bones. OK, ring, or no ring? I could go with happily-married-this-is-the-life-I-chose-and-I-don't-regret-it-at-all but then when he learns about the obligatory divorce in a few months he'll know I was just pretending, or even worse, think that I didn't see it coming! After all, I am nothing if not a realist. ----------------------- Susan, this is your last scotch, this time for real. I should have known this would happen... another night of him not coming and me left unsatisfied. Ahahaha! I slay me. Oh, wait! Is this part of his allegory as well? That's actually kind of clever... ohhhhh no no no... oh no, it can't be... what if this is his REVENGE? All the years and the effort... and his revenge is that he wrote a shitty book and stood me up at a restaurant. That is just like him. Oh I feel sad for him. I feel sad for me. I feel sad for everyone. Why are we all such pieces of human garbage? If I weren't so cynical I'd make an art piece about this.
THE END
Cinematography was nice and acting adequate.
