In yesterday’s novel_in_90  word-count post mnfaure  quoted   T.S. Eliot: "In my beginning is my end", and she asked if we try to foreshadow important elements of our ending in our story's opening?
Having thought about it in the hot bath I figured I actually do.

To start off on a funny note, in the first paragraph I said that Cornelius had a clear vision of his future life, which is a pretty obvious forshadowing. Of course Cornelius’s vision will not be realized, instead something completely different will happen. But then, if the UNEXPECTED didn’t happen to our good characters, what would those books be about?

There are often good questions asked in those word-count posts, and I remember I wanted to answer to a few of the previous round question in the light of this book. I think I’m going to do that, if time permits.
