A New Chapter One

Me: 4011 words! Way to go!

Chapter 1: So you're happy with me?

Me: Yes! Very! Even though about 1k of your words were taken from a previous draft.

Ch1: Oh, good! ...Wait... Previous draft? Am I not your first Chapter 1?

Me: F, no. You're not even the first Chapter 1 of this particular book.

Ch1: Oh. Um... I'm not really sure how I feel about that, to be honest.

Me: I'm sure you'll be my LAST Chapter 1.

Ch1: I can live with that.

I smile awkwardly and hope Chapter 1 doesn't know I'm lying.
