>Fun twist in your piece could be the shocking willingness for the girlfriend to aid in the cover-up;
Yeah, in my story, the WASP girlfriend of my titular character goes on to know everything of the murder; but she keeps it a secret. They share everything. The thing is that this jewish male character who dropped out of a bright engineering degree in Columbia University ends up getting extremely worried and guilty over his crime, and then he ends up converting to Catholicism, even though he has much difficulty in believing. He ends up explaining this to a priest and then I wrote out a complex and lengthy Dostoievskian -styled dialogue over his terrible crime and the need for atonement. I'm not that much of a Dostoievskian fan due to the format of his writing (which he's very poor in in comparison to Nabokov) but the topics and the spirit that he approaches things is extremely intriguing.

I wrote a complete family tree of the two families and I'm pretty sure that I can find it here in my computer if I looked for it in a few minutes. Would you like to see it?

>He murdered my birthmother when I was an infant, and my family hid it both from me and the outside world for years and years.
What the fuck lmao? How did that happen and I can only imagine how fucked up that might have turned out, besides how extremely psychologically and mentally exhausting, if not tremendously harrowing, it must be to know that your own mother was murdered by your father. How did you find out and how did your family hid it?

I made a complete gene tree of all of my characters and the two families; honestly it's just such a shame that I ended up not continuing on the project. I had some pretty good ideas.
