Cannon fodder survives | November Writing Challenge 2024

Renata wakes up on a hotel bathroom floor feeling as if her skull has been crushed. Turns out, it almost was-and the person who assaulted her wants to leave her in some strange man's hotel room.

Wait, why isn't her face her face? And who is this small five year old boy who seems to be attached to her hip? Is this amnesia... or no, these names. They sound familiar. Like the characters in a book she recently read.

And her character, the one she's living as now? Was supposed to die from that head injury.

Author's Note: This started as a NaNoWriMo2022 experiment in the transmigration genre. Even though I hit 50K (congrats to me) in 2022, the story itself still isn't complete. Then, I continued working on it for NaNoWriMo 2023. I didn't hit 50K that year (though I got close, with most of it written on the 30th, naturally), but I DID... not finish the story either. SO, I'm editing and posting the words written last year this November (2024) and then I'm going to attempt to, you know, finish the story. Wish me luck!
