@yabby1 I've had to hold off on writing recently because I took too many college courses at one time. The term's up this week, so I'll be resuming, at least until the next term starts in May, and then I won't have as big of a load, so hopefully I'll be able to make more progress over time.
There's a few more twists coming up in this part of the story, and then the final showdown with its twists. The story hasn't died, I promise. Plus, I need to do some editing to better round out some chapters, hopefully clarify some rough parts and make others more readable.
Thanks for checking in!
