Hello, I'm sorry for the lack of chapters lately. I have been taking a break but I plan to get back to it very soon. Even though I've been taking a break chapter 5 has still been eating at me. I've gone back again and further revised it changing more about the final scene of that chapter. The changes do not affect the following chapters so if you don't want to go back to read it don't worry the end result is the same. Thank you for reading and if you do go back to read the changes thank you for bearing with me. I should be posting more chapters very soon.

I've decided to go back and edit chapter 5. I've tried to add more to show Thomas' thoughts to show his mental breakdown. Only the end of chapter 5 has been edited. I tried to add as much as I can without deleting anything. I still want to come back to this chapter further during the final drafting. If you've read chapter 5 and want to go back to see more of what I want that scene to be it's been edited. If you don't want to move back to chapter 5 that is fine the changes in no way effect the outcome of the later chapters.

I'm sorry for the lack of chapters recently. I've been struggling with chapter 8 and it's because of chapter 5. I don't like the way I handled the chapter it feels rushed and it is a very sensitive yet important part of the story. I'm stuck on chapter 5 and it's slowing my progress on 8. I have 3 options on how to fix this and your input would be greatly appreciated. The first option would be to scrap chapters 5 through 7 and go back to 5. This seems like the worst option to me though and I think chapters 6 and 7 are where I want them to be so scrapping them feels wrong. The second option would be to simply go back to chapter 5 and slow it down. But I think it might cause inconsistencies in 6 and 7 and might still feel off to me. The third option would be to leave it as it is and thoroughly rework it in the final draft. (The final draft will be posted as a separate story from the current draft). Your input on this would help me a lot and I appreciate any advice you can offer. Thank you for reading and more chapters will be on the way as soon as I find a way to handle this.
