Author's note:

I can not tell you how deeply sorry I am for the lack of updates. Although excuses don't fix the problem, I can offer what little I can. I would write more, but then the whole story would crash and burn since I would kill off every character. Why?

I was right in my assumptions. I have been diagnosed as Clinical Depressive, and it is no big deal, but, I just don't feel like writing, plus my homework is falling behind due to the lack of concentration and interest as part of the illness. Luckily, I take this better than my family and friends. Not only am I open about the depression, but I often make jokes about it, and blame it for my recently developed morbid style in writing and art.

And for those of you who think Depression can just be gotten rid of by the right mind set and mental will, you are wrong. Clinical depression is due to a chemical imbalance in the brain *think zoloft commercials, so please don't harass me about being weak, I am sick of this. Also forgive me for my rudeness.

Again, I plan to finish this story, though it will be quite a while. Once I finish it, it will be taken off FFN and revised and chapters combined. This story so far is what I consider to be a rough rough draft, so it needs work especially in the word choice.

Also, if anyone knows, has, or thinks they have depression or are feeling down, feel free to e-mail me! I have helped several people feel better already, ironically, and just remember that I am here if you want to talk. Even if ya are fine and dandy, I still like to chat (

Once more, a deep apology to those few loyal reviewers! Just don't forget the story, or me!
