Dave: Perfection

It had been a long time coming.  Carefully, each day, she'd crafted it -- considering, rejecting, analyzing, mulling, and finally coming up with one small addition to the overall structure, one precisely delivered gem or twisted wire to the whole that would be her masterpiece.

She knew the others had given up on her.  They rushed-rushed-rushed, churning out "product."  Her's, though, would be exquisite, fabulous, the stuff of legends.  And it was nearly complete.

After a few, prayerful moments, eye closed, breathing deeply, she typed at last, "thundrous."

She counted once more.  One hundred days.  One hundred words.

She clicked "Save."

Do we get to guess who this refers to?

Y'know, I really didn't have anyone in particular in mind.

Though, through one of those odd coincidences, I wrote it as shown, did a word count, and it was exactly 100 words.
