Fics like Time Will Tell

I’m driven once more to my sketchbook and word-weary pencil. I write this here and now, so that my resolve might have meaning. I was wrong to believe that no one would ever cherish the dark side of my heart. But I was right to believe it would be no soul living. In a few moments, I’ll put aside these frail tools of the artist’s trade. I’ll be faithful to the promise on my mother’s grave. I glance up at the clock one last time. In the abrupt and deafening silence, I’m amazed. The clock has stopped ticking. [This is a substantial copy-edit and revision of a novel-length story I wrote in 2000, back when I was an undergraduate. Since all iterations of Beetlejuice are going through a renaissance thanks to the musical these past few years, I decided it was time to give this story its due and put it on AO3.]
