User blog comment:RRabbit42/Sunset, part 6/@comment-961279-20150217152357

This story surprised me a few times. It wasn't until after I finished it that I saw how a couple of points tied together that I didn't before. I had put it in and didn't know that I would be answering my own question from later on in the story of "why did that happen?"

But the biggest surprise was the story itself. I haven't had anything compell me to be written like this did. "I want to write about (a given subject)", yes. But not "you need to write this".

The last surprise came last night as I was listening to some music. I had made a promise of releasing one part per day and was trying to convince myself to publish this epilogue early just so I could get it out here. A particular song came on while I was reading the description of the roses and I realized that if I did so, it would be wrong. So I stuck to "allowing myself one per day" and instead came up with a mini-soundtrack to accompany the story. Sunset's theme would be "Longer" by Dan Fogelberg and Kenny's journey to find her would be "The Search is Over" by Survivor.
