A note to any reader who's still interested in any of my stories (The Prodigal, Before the Dawn, and A Day in the Life of Sydney Bristow.)

I just wanted to say that I haven't given up on any of my stories. I know that I haven't updated lately, but due to the death of one of my best friends this week I've been extremely depressed and I haven't written a damn thing.

I'm not trying to hold my stories hostage, I just wanted to update.

I hope to get back to my stories by this weekend. If you're still interested in reading any of them, please let me know…it'll be encouraging.

Also, on a more personal note, I just wanted to say that if any of you haven't talked to one or more of your friends lately, or have left any arguments unsettled, or even haven't really sad anything nice to them lately—you should call them. You honestly never know when you may loose them. I don't want to be very depressing right now, I just wanted to say that death can sneak up on you—it sure did to my friend, and now, I just keep wishing that I had the chance to say goodbye to him. Don't let this happen to you—tell your friends how much they mean to you.

Anyway, on a lighter note—I will be writing this weekend because I know that's what my friend would have wanted, and I'll be getting chapters of my stories out by next week.

Thanks,

Terin(
