I do not own any recognizable characters, no copyright infringement is intended.
The five W’s the first lesson in Journalism 101.
Who, the person who shaped my whole life is Coraline Duvall.
What did she do, turned the man she loved and was willing to turn a child to keep him.
Where, that’s the easiest answer right here in beautiful sunny, southern California.
When did I become a killer, the first time I pulled a trigger or the day I called Josef?
Why, I lost Josh I’m not going to lose Mick because of a different kind of scum.
How will I be able to keep it from him, I love him more than she does.

Exactly seven lines! At first, I thought this was Mick--should have known better.

Oh Cassy, I love this!
Beth's determination shines through here, I can almost see her fixing someone with that steel blue gaze of hers as she says the words. Hmmm... that could be Coraline, or Mick. Her words are so full of purpose. Thank you for sharing babes.

I can totally hear Beth's voice saying those words! I especially love how the questions/answers get gradually more difficult (I have a soft spot for the Why one
!) yet it sounds like she answers them with equal ease, through honesty and determination. Her personality really shines through.
I also noted with interest that she does not count "staking Coraline" as a possible "first time killer" moment. Admittedly Coraline survived but I can't help wonder if that's the only reason for her leaving it out...
Thank you!

Beth speaks to me very rarely. I think the shortness of the challenge allowed her to come through loud and clear. I'm glad you liked it and that it sounds like Beth.

Carol, this is great! Using the Who, What, Where, etc. was very clever. On a superficial level, it has a "just the facts" feel to it, but those hard facts are so layered with emotion, this packs a real punch. It's as if Beth is trying to looks at things as a dispassionate reporter, but with each new line, she becomes a little more vulnerable.
Very nicely done!
