[April 25th] [Perry Mason] A Glimpse Beyond the Illusion

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

Title: A Glimpse Beyond the Illusion
Day/Theme: April 25th - You know, I think that men love wars...
Series: Perry Mason
Character/Pairing: Hamilton Burger, Leon
Rating: G/K

The previous day's piece was actually originally supposed to be the first scene of a longer fic that would flash back and go into detail about the attempt to drive a wedge between Hamilton and his secretary Leon (and who was doing it and why). It was while I was writing it that I suddenly became aware of several uncomfortable holes in the idea. I scrapped the project, rewrote some of that first scene, and put it up as it is now. Leon was actually not supposed to die in the first draft. I don't know where that came from, to be honest!

This is a follow-up, wherein I further try to tinker with some of the problems of the original, mostly unwritten storyline. Perhaps someday, if I can iron out the problems, I'll write a modified version of the original story idea.

You know, another project I want to try someday is "The missing scenes of The Broken Ties", scenes I wanted to have or considered having or thought of later that never made it into The Case of the Broken Ties.
