Unfortunately, there will not be a new chapter this week. What happened is simple: I got sick with a bad stomach bug, and I was not up to writing or doing much of anything. For those who are active on the forums and read my stories and whom I read the stories of and read my stories, this is why I haven't been active there or reading all that much. I am hopefully over the sickness now. I will still be taking things easy for the next few days, but I should have a new chapter up next week as usual.
