This is just a thank you to everyone who has been reading (forcing yourself through) my story so far. For the most part, many of these chapters are just my own little experimentations on different dialogues and a lot of indecisiveness about how much detail I should be going into for every scene.

I hope the grammar has been alright even if jarring and that it has been a decent experience for you. I wrote the first five chapters in one sitting and have been getting one or two written during my breaks at work so if they seem disconnected, janky, or jarring sorry about that.

Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author.

Again I just want to thank you all for reading my little piece of fiction here and hope you'll continue as I try and finish the marathon. I'm on track for fifteen thousand words by the fifteen! So far so good! If any of you are also participating I wish you good luck as well.

Chapter 12 is partly written and should be out tomorrow.
