alright, due to a new review i got, i feel i should update this. i am not going to post any more stories. fanfiction was something of the past, and i doubt i will ever write any more. however, i am fond of the stories i have here, and hope that someone may see them. thus, they stay.
i am fully aware that "the giver" is now part of a trilogy. i bought "gathering blue" read it and loved it the week it came out. i will be buying "messenger" when i go home after semester. my story was written before "gathering blue" was published, and is intended to be seen as an epilogue to "the giver", independent of the others. i do appreciate the reviewer posting the information, though, because i too think that the whole series should be read.
now, on to the stories, and enjoy!
