A dear guy that I crossed paths with that worked at my favorite Borders (when they were around) said this to me the week before he quit working there and soon after Borders shut down.
That was three years ago, and those words still stick.
With everything that I write and will publish in the future, I’m taking his advice: no full roadmap; just a couple of points, and my characters- “temporary roommates” as I affectionately refer to them- will connect the dots for me.
While most people believe that the Fremont Troll is merely an art installation, it is actually a real troll that has been encased in stone for the last 498 years, only waking up briefly in the 90s to steal a car from the road before returning to its slumber. The petrification spell placed upon it only lasts 500 years, however, giving Seattle only two more years to ramp up their contingency plans for troll attack related emergencies.
Few Seattleites are yet aware that the city was unable to prevent the awakening of the troll a little over five years ago now. In order to prevent a city wide panic, officials hastily commissioned a sculpture artist to replace the now de-petrified troll with a replica statue. As for the troll itself, it quickly made its way into the Seattle Underground, but sadly not before ripping the mystery vending machine from its spot in Capitol Hill and taking it with it.
