As is evident, I haven't posted a chapter in many months. I wanted to address this. I haven't abandoned this project of mine, but I haven't had motivation to write in a while. The current chapter is half done and I felt lost in the weeds on where I wanted to go, so I put it down to think on it. Procrastination being what it is, and life in general not being full of motivators, it's sat and stagnated. I'm not going to return to writing any time soon, but I hope to continue the story after the summer heat gives way to fall in my area.

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

See you fine folks in a few months.
