@JTDaniels No, I did not die! I gave up on the story 'the guy' for a few years and when I decided to continue with it, I realised how bad it actually was.. So I am now trying to rewrite it. It's taking me longer than I imagined, but it will continue, I promise. Just (hopefully) with better writing than before :)
(also thank you for your comments, they really made me laugh!)
