You guys probably all know what's going to happen after reading the title. I'm putting this story into an indefinite hiatus. I started with an idea in my head, but I was neither prepared nor skilled enough to succesfully materialize that idea. I'm an amateur, no doubt about it. 

I have other ideas floating around in my head that I'd like to try. Coming up with ideas is a lot easier than working on it, however. Thankfully, I've gotten a lot of experience from this! But, I still have a lot to learn. If I do come back to work on The Genius Manipulator, I'm probably going to have to tear it all down and start over.

I really appreciate everyone who has read my story and to everyone who has given me their feedback and critiques. Without you guys, I'd never be able to improve and see my mistakes.

Until next time,
