1778 words, and I’ve come to what seems like the logical end of the scene.
Unfortunately, I’m 622 words short of my acceptable word baseline for the day, and I didn’t really want to dive into the next scene just yet. What to do? Could telescope a bit, and throw the appearance of the ghost into the end of this scene instead of the beginning of the next one where…
