334 — How does your MC handle sadness and depression?

The devil-girl is at heart a control freak; she's just not mean or unpleasant about it. Depression results when she's stymied in finding how to control problematic situations from which she cannot escape, which usually ends up with her trying crazy and dangerous things to bully her way through.

But...

If it the situation puts people at risk and she can't do anything about it...

She did have a mental break one time, where she failed to harm herself.

Another time... well, her employer died, though it was because her employer became too stupid to live. She has enduring PTSD, and it's not because of her too young age. It's that she's was raised to be responsible and doesn't know how to let go.

Czesi stworzyli komedię s-f. Patrząc na recenzje i oceny, to jest dno. Ktoś skomentował, że w końcu w Czechach powinno się wprowadzić prawo, które pozwoli karać za tworzenie złych filmów (jestem za tym, żeby i w Polsce coś takiego wprowadzili).

No i to wszystko zamiast mnie odstraszać, wręcz prowokuje do tego, żebym obejrzał ten film :D

Today I am joined by Anthony Hayes. We both contribute articles on Abernathy's deceptively complex parable of urban alienation.

I know few will care about an unknown story by an unknown author, but goodness, I loved writing about this one! I'm proud of what I wrote. And I think my guest poster did as well.

And I provide a link to an online copy of the short (12 pages) story near the top of the post if you want to give it a read :)
