I have researched the life of Natalie thoroughly in preparation for a novel I am writing. Not that she is a real person, but I have researched the times, the places, and pondered her personality and foibles. I feel I know her well enough now to begin the novel.
She was born in…
Oh dear. I’ve just received the most tragic telegram. Natalie has been run over by a truck.

I was seriously hoping she would die bungee jumping or being butchered by Asiatic lions. You can’t even begin imagining how much I hate having truck with trucks.

A truck is such a banal way to go. Tomorrow’s one (if indeed there is a death) will be livelier.
