Let me start by apologizing for the long absence. I'm not even sure if my stories are being read any more or if I should pick back up with them. Please let me know if there is the following that is worth me continuing with these projects. Work became extremely hectic in the last year-ish and I'm finally having a bit of free time from time to time that I can lend to writing. The next time I have to take an extended pause from writing I'll be sure to give a heads up.
