RE: Unwind ~ Remain
Fair enough I leave a ton out from what I might think to write, sometimes I even think I wrote something that I did not because I tend to have a much wordier part in my head. I guess it is the only way I can pretend to even have an interesting story through abstracting it. So the confusion is perfectly natural.
This is why I thought it is not out of place to assume John had an affair with Mikes sister:
"It was not enough for me to just be thankful for this job you had to take her too." Mike says between breaths,
and ends with
"Nothing will ever be enough for you!"
and before that John said enough which cause Mike to go into listing mainly transgressions to do with woman. So I thought well I could write a 200 word backstory or since we have established that John fucks around I can tie it together via "thankful for this job" which is what use to support her saying that Tim should be the one that is present at work, and also why Mike wanted to come out more after her death... By the end a person would then maybe connect the "take her" as being his sister which he gathered was one of Johns woman , John gave Tim the job which gives him power so to speak.... Meh not sure if that makes sense. But that is basically how I thought about it and then wondered how do I say that without saying it haha.
And nope I don't mention her before the end at all so there was nothing previously that would indicate it.
Fair enough, I will keep in mind that it is quite a reach thanx for mentioning it. :)
I remember reading that line now, and I thought when he said the "you had to take her too" part, I thought he had done something to harm her, or maybe he had killed her but escaped being charged.
But now that I think about it you had earlier written something about him messing around with interns, and before Mike got the knife he was saying those kinds of things. So the clue was there, I just didn't pick up on it. I went with unexpected violence for some reason. :)
It helps a lot though because now I know not to be too vague. Thanx.
You're welcome. I think like most things, being vague once in a while is a good thing, and in some cases, it's even preferred.
