I am a horrible person.

I just introduced a character in one of Ben's awful flashbacks, and she's awesome.

And then she dies.

And then Fifi dies, after Ben comes up from the flashback. And he can't do a blessed thing about it, because he can't even frakking move at that point. So, he gets to relive an Army buddy dying in front of him, while he's helpless to stop it, in technicolor glory--and then he gets to see someone else die in front of him whom he also can't help.

And I see you over there going "Buh? Who the Sam Hill is Fifi?" Wolf Girl.

Anyway. Guess what that kicks my wordcount up to?

80,000.

Whee!

How did Fifi become Wolf Girl? Congratulations on the 80K!

Well, Fifi's always been Wolf Girl, I just didn't mention her name in an LJ post until now.

I really should go back and give her more personality. Oh well, this is what we have edits for.

Killing off someone awesome? How very King of you ;)

I guess I'm in good company. ;)

So, you're planning on Ben ending this book chanting to himself in a straitjacket in a rubber room, huh?

Name, rank, social...

His buttons are getting pushed HARD. At the same time, Fifi's not exactly an innocent victim here and attempted to set him up, so the bad feelings are (somewhat) mitigated.

Somewhat.
