Didn't get much done last night

Seven hundred words is all, but they were good ones (says I hopefully). I'm on to Chapter VII now: THE COBRA MIST EFFECT. I remembered this chapter as the part of the first draft where everything started getting boring. Reading it over again, I agree wholeheartedly--too much telling what the characters are doing and not enough showing. Happily, that's changing. I decided to have Foyle grilling the Security Police for shooting down Steven Knight, instead of just adding a paragraph with words to the effect of 'Foyle was cross and the SPs were punished'.

Oh yes, and they're about to search through the dead man's possessions. They'll find some things they didn't expect--like plastic explosives and a silenced handgun. This seems to prove that, with Steven in his disturbed mental state, he was the saboteur.

At least, that's what it seems to prove.

In reality, he's being set up by a conspiracy led by Major Wheatley and a shadowy man codenamed "Galahad". Some of the people on the mainland are in on it, too. Johnny (Steven's friend) came up with this theory originally, but with the new evidence, this hypothesis is discredited. He'll turn out to be right on all the important points later on in the plot.

But by that time, it's too late. Mwahahahahahaaaa.
