Is That a Light I See?

As I lay awake last night watching the minutes disappear on my clock (the heat, oh the heat) I had a small breakthrough with my short story. Now I wasn't inspired enough to get up and start writing (the heat, oh the heat) but I am attacking "The Watcher" head-on instead of warily sidling up to it holding my breath.

I think since this is a new format for me (haven't written a short story since high school and that was back when Caesar was searching for a decent Chianti) the mathematical approach will work best. The story can be broken into four sections. I know my desired word total. Divide and conquer.

No idea if this will actually work. I'll keep you posted. (the heat, oh the heat)!
