A note:
Sorry about the long hiatus. I hope to be more consistent in posting in the near future. Life's been rather bad lately and I've been going through a lot of personal tragedy in the last year. I've lost my father, my nephew, and my grandmother in a short span of a few months and it's been a really experience to navigate through. Writing, though, has been a bit of a help so I'm hoping to post more here soon.
As always, though, thank you for the comments and support. This is a fantastic community.
