Brillant lmao. Glad to see this thread is thriving.

Thank you. Do you have any suggestions for nice food places, fun places because I have no idea about LA. I’m planning on visiting some malls to buy some stuff.

From what I read, the last time they had something this catastrophic was 70 something years ago. I wonder how effective those drains would be if it's just sitting there scorching hot and dry for decades before they are suddenly needed.

(3:57 PM Sat.) So since plans changed and our mom chose to leave my second eldest brother and I with our grandma and other aunt (our grandma has dementia and needs to be watched). I decided I would take the time to sit down and finish writing up my story that was inspired by another story I did. Tell me how the first one I wrote is 2k+ words and this second story (which is inspired by the first) is 10k+ words? Specifically 10,909 words...I don't even know how I managed to write that far lol. But that's what happens when I just take my good ol' time, I keep going and never stop until I force myself to. It is supposed to be a darker themed story as well...the things I had to look up to try and be as graphic as possible made me squeamish, but I do love to torture myself so I pushed on! Writing makes me relaxed and sleepy, but my twin is gone to help our mom and she is like my battery. As I was writing I felt myself slowly draining in energy and now I want to sleep. She needs to come home already!
