He's thrilled! To him, it's just another juicy story, truth or not. If it has the potential of selling papers, then he will print just about anything. One day maybe I could help change that. - Christine
Christine is a reporter for a very grumpy boss who takes pride in publishing anything newsworthy, whether true or not.
Yes, even in this world of Internet and digital media, Jacobson still believed in the good old-fashion paper to disperse the news.
It's called newspaper for a reason, rookie! - Mr. Jacobson
Your presence gives me hope, and it's the first hope I've had. - Cecilia
We have half an hour to relax before supper. Let's see if I can fix this mess you call a hairstyle. - Cecilia
I've got a funny movie, a big-screen TV, and some movie butter popcorn. Want to join me? - Christine
The ghost hunter to the stars? Interesting. But to get an interview, you're going to have to stay in his hotel. - Mr. Jacobson
InspirationThe story and characters were inspired by the movie, Scarry Stories to Tell in the Dark. After getting stuck with the plot after writing the first chapter, I met Jennifer Turpin, oldest sibling of the Turpin 13. She helped me see Cecilia as believable and real. It is thanks to Jennifer that I was able to complete the story.
Final ThoughtsI wrote this story when I needed good people around me to help me see the path ahead through time of struggle. I wanted to write my first horror story, but what came out was a beautiful story of friendship and rescue. May this story help you to know that you are not alone in your struggles with life.
