Roommie has gone out for a bit to run some errands. So, I've got the flat to myself until probably sometime this afternoon. What to do with myself?

I posted Ben's renewel a few days ago and I've just realised something...I'm probably going to confuse some of you who've read that, along with Chella's beginning.

I don't know what's wrong with me today, but I've been feeling a bit cross inside. I honestly don't know what set me off this time. Maybe it's just 'cause I'm female...

Note: Today would have been Anne Frank’s seventy-seventh birthday. I first read her diary when I was about thirteen years old, the same age as Anne herself when she was forced to flee Adolf Hitler’s obscene racial policies and go into hiding.

I've decided to start the re-write of the story for my Uncle Ben, but by introducing Chella's character first. I'm sure you'll be able to figure out the reasons why as the story goes along, but if any of you have any questions, please ask and I'll be happy to explain. Please enjoy this and please,...
