It's been really full on and tense at work, by the time I get home, I'm just not in the right frame of mind to write. This is really just an excuse though. I've been feeling inadequate and nervous about whether I could really make something great and satisfying out of this one-shot. But I'm going to make sure to keep trying, to prove to myself that I can do it.

If you've read my latest chapter, I'm sure you were a little let down with how short it was. Fear not! Its incomplete! I didn't want you to think this would be another incomplete story, so I tried to give you at least the beginning of this next chapter.

I plan on writing much more for chapter 9. So please don't think this is it!
