Okay. This is a quick little Author's Note.

First, I'm sorry that Chapter 8 is so late. Steve ran off, leaving me with THIS! (points to large granite block with the words "writer's block" carved into the side chained to her ankle) I grabbed him the last time he tried to sneak in to get food. Bad Steve, bad muse!

Second, my computer is in the shop this week. Apparently, Macintosh Powerbooks seem to have the habit of have problems with the screen. Its been acting up for a month, and I finally brought it in. But it seems that I'll be without my computer-baby for the week, and all my files are on it. I have yet to back anything up, but I'm gonna as soon as I get it back.

I apologize for the delay and thank you for your patience.
