20. A New Disclaimer

In light of the recent overturning of Roe Vs Wade, I've decided to come back and add a disclaimer to this old story of mine.

That this is a work of fiction, and in no way represents or reflects my real-world beliefs.

As writers, we often explore concepts and characters that we wouldn't associate with in reality. I would never truly condone taking away somebody's right to choose, regardless of what that choice is. The only reasons things go the way they do in this story is because, frankly, there wouldn't be a story otherwise. Flora's heart is in the right place, but she is wrong to insist, and I knew that even while writing her.

I could probably say more, but I feel even this is already too much. Fiction is a place for adventure, exploration, and escapism, not political discourse. Please take this disclaimer for just that and leave any debate at the door.

I am also adding this disclaimer to the tops of chapters 1 and 4.
