Mother Homewrecker
an excerpt

Apology to my dear dead novel:

I'm sorry, my dear. You know I love you. I wish things were different this year, I really do. I'll come back to you next year. I hope.

I was going to spend time with you at the beginning of the month, I promised you that. We were going to be happy together. But no. The evil one came to me and blackmailed me, forcing me to spend my time with him. He threatened me. If I didn't spend time with him, he would take my future. So I had to leave you for him. I had to.

I tried to escape, I really did. I snuck off to see you from time to time, you know that. But his hold on me was too powerful, and I couldn't escape for good. He held everything in his hands.

Please don't see this as betrayal. You do want me too succeed, don't you? Otherwise we'd both be living out of a cardboard box ten years down the line. I had to sacrifice you for the betterment of both of us in the long run.

Now it's over. With a click of the mouse, I could never change things for him again. I had sent the final product away to his superiors, and he left me, searching for another procrastinator to torment. And as he left he stole all my energy and brainpower, forcing me to collapse into sleep. I couldn't think straight the next day. I can go back to you now that I'm thinking straight. But I just can't give you the time you deserve anymore. Next year, I promise we can be together more. But not now. I'm only in high school, and I've got tons of work. But I have to do that now. I'm doing it for us. Sure I can spend all my time with you and nothing else. But later in life we'll lose. So I have to give you up now, in order to spend more time with you later.

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. But this is all for our good. I promise we'll be together in the future.
