Back in September:

Vi: Hey, I might be able to write a thing for this mandatoryfunday prompt!
Vi: *writes*
Thing: *develops a plot*
Vi: ... okay, I can totally post the first section by the deadline and then see if I want to write more aft--
Life: *happens*
Vi: Auggghhhhhh

Some Time Later:

Vi: Okay, it's three chapters and I'm mostly done the first two, fine.
Vi: Actually I need something else here...
Vi: Okay, it actually has four chapters but I'm done the first three.
Vi: Okay, I'm done chapter four and now it has five chapters. Fine.
Vi: There sure is a lot of stuff that has to fit into this last chapter...

At least some of it was a character angsting alone at night, so I'm back to my comfort zone.

This thing will be less than 7000 words, goddammit.
