Hello, all! I come as the bearer of bad news, I'm afraid. I have reached the final few stages of the first draft phase, you see. Which is wonderful, so where is the problem? Well, I have decided not to upload the rest of the book here. Actually, after a great deal of consideration, I finally came to the decision to remove the story altogether for editing purposes some time around mid-August. I can never apologise enough for the inconvenience, nor can I ever thank you enough for taking the time to glance at my strange little story. The truth of it is this: without you, without feeling like I was writing to someone, I would never have gotten this far. I do plan on posting several short stories based on prompts before the end of the summer, so that's something fun to look forward to! Once again, I cannot thank you enough and can only ask for your understanding. The first draft was a blast to work on, and I genuinely don't think I could have made it past chapter five without the knowledge that you wonderful people were out there. Hopefully, this story will be ready to see the light of day again after some serious reconstruction. ;)
