The Very End

Chapter XXXVI Renna had no idea what machinations were being set into motion. She felt relaxed for the first time in days and leaned back.

Chapter XXXVII Renna felt her tension return as she left the bench where she sat and headed for the subway and thus to her job.

Chapter XXXVIII Dark Cloud followed her, his breath coming fast. Marta was right, this girl, she was the one.

Chapter XXXIX On the subway platform standing waiting for the train, Renna turned to see Dark Cloud staring at her intently.

Chapter XL Marta was humming as she dusted her apartment. It should be happening soon, she thought.

Chapter XLI Raul had an odd feeling

sorry my readers --- Was he right about Renna and Dark Cloud? Raul had been certain they were destined for each other.

Chapter XLII Renna looked at Dark Cloud and then at his hand. He held a dark object. She smiled again, sad. Raul was right after all.

Chapter XLIII Raul felt a sudden wave of shock, thinking, no, no, I didn't mean that, I never meant that.

Chapter XLIV Dark Cloud felt the gun jerk in his hand, saw the burst of flame and saw Renna fly. My diamond, he thought, my angel.

Chapter XLV Afterward no one could say for sure what had happened. Dark Cloud had disappeared and no one had seen the gun.

Chapter XLVI There was only one last sighting of Dark Cloud. Raul saw him from a distance leaving the city on a train.

Chapter XLVII Darla burst into Anemone's office. "I thought you said he would take her away, not kill her!" "I said put, not take."

Chapter XLVIII Marta counted her money carefully. All was as it should be, in her world.

Chapter XLVIX Darla could not believe what she had just done. For the rest of her life that guilt shaped all her choices.

Chapter L "Why didn't you just fire her?" "What do you mean? I don't know what you're talking about. Do you mean Renna and that crazy man?"

Chapter LI Raul could no longer stay in that city. He packed up his stuff and moved to Canada. It was cooler there, nicer.

The End of the First Twitter Novel. Nothing else ever happened to those people, nothing worth writing a novel about anyway.
