chipotleSo I'm tweaking the horror story and thinking I've got to make this suck more. And it occurred to me that this is about the only genre where that's a positive thing.
...Of course, I mean "make this suck more for the characters," but it's still sort of perversely amusing to be looking critically at the text and thinking how do I maximize the gut punch effect without increasing the word count?
(N.B.: thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shaterri the story's tentative title is "Carrier.")

I think it worked well overall, although doing it in under 3000 words has been a challenge. I still don't absolutely know that will fit in the space they're giving me, either!
