hey everyone...terrible things have happened. I was set and ready to post chapter 10 today ( SO SO SORRY FOR THE DELAY ) so I go to my computer to discover its not in its folder...none of my chapters are. But my sister cleaned out the computer last night so I figured she compressed them or something and I would just have to restore them. But no, she DELETED THEM! and she also was thoughtful enought o clean out or recycle bin, so they're permanently gone from the computer. So after I yelled at my sister for a while, I sat down and wrote this authors note...attached is my humble apology. I will still try to keep this story going but its been so long since I even...wrote about it that Im afraid I might have lost the momentum...sounds stupid huh? Plus school has started up and I do debate HURRAH! and that takes up most of my time after school and every saturday I have tournaments. BOO. But don't lose ssleep over the matter...I was thinking about re-writing it anyway. Now I have the chance. I swear it will be great great great! Or at least I hope. IM SO SO SO SO SORRY!
