Look! She's Aliiiiiiiiiiive!

| Yes. I have a plan. The words are flowing. I know what I'm doing! Due Friday morning, you say? No problem! |
 |
| Who told this scene to misbehave? Wait...WHO TOLD THIS ENTIRE MANUSCRIPT TO MISBEHAVE? |

| Hey! Rome didn't burn! All the pieces miraculously fit! I turned it in on time and I DID NOT DIE! |
 |
| Shh. My brain is dead. |
 |
| Accurate post-edit face. For four days. Maybe five. |
