My former colleagues who were there, especially those who attended the “100th Anniversary” show, will get a kick out of this video. “The time is short. You die at dawn.” LOL.
Danger
Be careful
Be cautious
I’ll catch you unaware
Look out

You know this
Be prepared

Look out son
Watch out
Go for it
In the first paragraph of Grim Anniversaries, I could have been more clear that what I saw with Harriet was my impression of her situation and nothing more. She and I didn’t discuss her wellness at the time. A month or so later I mentioned to her that it appeared to be taking a toll on her physically, but she neither confirmed nor denied my observation.
The e-mail exchange at the beginning of Grim Anniversaries is verbatim. I tend to save electronic messages wherein I’m instructed to violate company policies and/or my oath as a member of the State Bar of Georgia.
A portion of Grim Anniversaries, beginning with the exchange of messages with Jane through the end of the scene, was the opening scene of the book in the first several drafts. However, having the story open with frantic messages, Damron terrified of something, then being unable to talk to Jane, sneaking out into the cold darkness to go home and have a meltdown, set a tone for the story that was too dark. And then the first six chapters would be flashbacks. The scene belonged where it happened chronologically, and I wanted the book, like the real story, to have its dark moments, but to be a story of perseverence, optimism, and humor. The scene works here. It’s the “all is lost” moment of Destination Unknown.
