I am aware that it takes energy to delve into chapter-rich narratives. For those of you who have not yet encountered my writing style, I will present a short story.
Of course, this can lead to you immediately thinking: Uh!? Boring silly stuff and then you are exempt from spending your precious time reading more from me in the future. I still dare to face the shame with this short story.
Crew negotiation
“Welcome Elijah. I am so glad to see you for this negotiation.”
“Thanks Mona. I bought you a little hostess gift.”
“To me?! Thanks Elijah, you always seem very thoughtful.”
“A snow globe? The game seems to have a lot of that stuff.”
“There’s no doubt you’re a very attentive character.”
“Now for the more serious stuff. I’ve noticed that Fatima has undergone a huge transformation since you entered the story.”
“Yeah! She’s amazing, isn’t she?”
“She is absolutely amazing but heading way beyond the limit. You two must control yourselves or I will have to write you out of the story.”
“No! Please Mona! I promise we’ll turn off the lights from now on if we get any wicked ideas.”
“Sounds good Elijah. You are one of my favorite couples.”
“What is hidden in the darkness no one cares about.”
“Thanks for visiting Elijah, I can sense someone else is setting up a negotiation.”
As a vampire, Masato has already teleported into the apartment before Mona enters the door.
“Hey Masato. I see you’re trying to force yourself some stage time again. Would you like a pancake?”
“No thanks, it’s not really my kind of food.”
“Oh I see, unfortunately I can’t offer you anything else. I’d hate to be without my blood.”
“I’m worried about your mental state, Mona.”
“How can you write a chapter about the contents of the night without a single vampire? Vampires are the undefeated rulers of the night.”
“Oh, I see where you’re going.”
“I could give this story some real drama. Nobody cares about weddings and Don’s brain-dead escapades. People want to see blood, gore and the kind of stuff that shakes their confidence.”
“You’re probably right. Crime and horror movies seem to have high ratings…. Perhaps you should seek inclusion in another story. I can recommend a few simlit writers.”
“It’s a lame suggestion, Mona. How would it be possible for me to transfer?”
"Maybe you should reinvent yourself Mona and start expanding your readership?”
“Nope! That’s not my kind of story to tell.”
“Well since you will not accept good advice, I’ll take matters into my own hands. We Sims still have some form of self-determination.”
“Yeah, I have kind of seen that.”
“Sorry, now I have to gather some new inspiration.”
This means that this crew negotiation is finally over.
See you all!

See you all!
I remember this scene! I love your occasional "behind the curtain" moments when the characters go and bother the author. I really enjoy your sense of humor.
