*************
This is NOT a chapter of A Fiery Rain.
I know that it has been a while since I gave you Chapter 11… And I'm sorry that I don't have more for you right now.
Most of you are aware that I have a lot of problems. Right before I gave you Chapter 11, one of those problems climaxed. I have a brain condition that I've been dealing with for some time now and the medication I was taking to correct it stopped working prior to 11's posting. The doctor's told me I have a year.
Among other results of my problem, I have a hard time writing now. I have a day or two of coherency, and then a few more of a sort of mental helplessness.
It is my intention to finish A Fiery Rain. I will finish it, I swear it. But I won't be publishing any more chapters until the entire story is complete. If by that time, I am no longer capable of it for any reason, I've arranged for a friend to release the chapters over time. So you will get them.
If you really want a chapter, absolutely have to have it, or wish to host A Fiery Rain or have an important question or something, contact Nic Jean at lonefate@hotmail.com with the phrase "Indy's story request" in the Subject line. She'll do what she can for you.
Enjoy your lives, please. If I've learned anything these last couple months, it's that you have to value every moment, every friend, every sound and taste and smell and color… Do what you love. Don't let anyone's oppositions keep you from it. Believe in something; it makes life so much easier to bear. Pain is fleeting, endure it to the best of your ability, and keep making plans for the future. There is a future, however hard it is to understand or to see; the trick is remembering that you're part of its making. And no matter how hard it is, know that it's going to be alright. Always.
Goodbye for now.
