I'll delete this chapter later, but I just wanted to let everyone know that I've had a really bad case of flu or something; we're talking fever, chills, congestion, coughing, etc. I'm immuno compromised due to some medications I take for my chronic health issue. When I get sick, it usually takes my body longer to recover.
I haven't abandoned this story, but the combination of the sickness and the approaching holiday have left me unable to really focus on writing. I should get back to releasing chapters once I recover.
Thanks for your patience.
