No, the story isn't dead. Not yet. I just hit a bad patch, some bad depression, my grades dropped, things were bad at home, and I overall wasn't doing well motivation wise.
Over the summer, I completely forgot about this. Now that school has started up again, and I remembered this, I really just don't have time.
However, I recently found plenty of time, which I will use to finish this story... AND get a good start on a new story that I am taking up for a friend. More about that story later, but i should actually have the final chapter of this story posted in just a few hours, and if not, then before this time tomorrow!
