No. Not dead. Burnt badly. --Dr. Evil

so i'm ready to write again. i have a story to tell. it's about a lost year, and it's a true story and it doesn't end well. it begins on january 1, conveniently, and it ends rather sadly--on january 1st. but there's this epilogue that takes us two weeks into a new year, where the drama drags on, full of run on sentences and unnecessary plot twists that make it a tragedy of shakespearean proportions, where everybody dies and the main character (wait, she's still breathing) cannot get her eyes to stop burning. maybe she froze them during her 5 degree training run this morning, and she's not really this sad after all.
