And just like that, The Strangest Feeling Vol 2 is now completed.
And again, I’m overwhelmed by the support I’ve received since starting this little journey, especially as someone who has never written anything before.
So thank you, everyone.
One main question I wanted to answer, which has been asked a lot.
Why did I kill off Vivian?
The answer to that is simple, The Strangest Feeling was Siobhan’s story, and with Vol 2 taking the direction that someone would pass away, if not both women as this was going to surround them getting older, I wanted to be realistic.
If Siobhan passed away first it would have been a ‘well what was the point in all that?’ Kind of thing.
I chose the story line I did, again not to trigger anyone, but to bring a sense of realism into the story.
I wanted to grip people and pull them into it, I wanted to make them feel part of the story and not think of them as two fictional women, but as real people, going through a real struggle in life and how each woman coped in different ways.
The plan since Vol 1 was that Vivian was always going to pass away first, but as I’ve always said - there is a method to my madness and I needed you all to trust the process, which you did.
So thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
I hope I done you all proud and done justice to such an upsetting topic of conversation, I tried my best to write it as beautifully and carefully as I could.
