Hi, this is Mayssa!
Thank you for reading 24 days.
I hope you enjoyed it!
I hate to say this but I hate endings; I don't want stories to end but everything needs to end for another to start, right?
For the better or the worse, everything needs an ending.
Either a sad or happy one.
I wrote another end for the story (the happy version),it will be presented after this quick character explanation:
YUMEI: she is our hero in 24 days.
She loves herself more than anything but for some reason she decided to commit suicide.
The story takes place in 24 days (I choose this title because we always say 24 hours so it is kind of original,wdyt? Besides all of the vents took place in 24hours)
ARNO: his name is a combination between( yes )or no,orno.
He represents the potential lover that Yulei didn't have in her life.He is suffering from "not getting a chance in life":being in that world after 'killing' his mom who was giving birth to him and that iq how he developed borderline personality.
( he got in that world from the second he was born)
JOY:she is possessive and narcissistic ( she didn't give Yumei clothes but instead gave her...her borthers' old clothes.
JEREMY:He is suffering from ADHD
Always looking for attention,he thinks he is the center of the world!
The madam /Bonnie: She killed for love just like the original story, her name was inspired from the murdered Bonnie who committed murder for her lover.
She is always sad,she thinks that love must be paintful:Love is bittersweet!
She is stuck to the past.
The maid (Délia):Even if it wasn't clear, Delia is OCD.
She is obsessed with everything (she killed her boss becausehe refused to clean the restaurant one day and asked her to change something in the dish she made,he didn't like "her perfect dish".
Idéal(which is perfect in French)
Mix: Délia
Sir Clyde: he is also inspired from the criminal Clyde
(Bonnie and Clyde are criminals who lived in real life and their story affected the process of building the madam's and sir's characters)
He is loosing himself slowly,suffering from the war,how he refused to protect his own country to be exact
Austin:He realized long ago that that world was fake.
He feels like he didn't get the chance to live in the real world and found himself living with sinners(killers)...that's why he hated Yumei
He is innocent and different.
He thinks it is unfair.
But who are those people?
People that have never existed.
Why are they in that world?
They are representations of people Yumei met and heard of on her real life, during her last day on earth.
