OK, today I don't have a chapter. I don't think you'll have one again any time soon, either.

Before I get to that, let me talk about what happened when this story started. I was not yet 14, still 13, and I was trying to revive my very first story on this site in a way that was acceptable to read. And people loved it. So far I've gotten at most 5 or so negative reviews to almost 550 positives. People love this story, which is why it's going to hurt me to discontinue it.

The first reason is I've run out of creative inspiration. Coming up with new chapters for almost a year takes its toll, and right now I'm drawing a blank. It's been a struggle to cobble together good chapters for a while now, and it's just not flowing like it used to.

The more important, second reason that this story will not be further updated is because I've sort of had a mid-life crisis, except when I was 14. To maniacally update this story, I haven't seen much of my friends, I'm a little distant from my family, and my schoolwork (it's summer, but still) hasn't been what I wanted. It was fun to write something that so many people liked, but in the end, where's it going to matter? Apathy is destroying our sense of right and wrong, global warming is creating natural disasters unchecked, and the world is essentially doomed. I came to really see that, and I'm going in a direction to do something about that. This story was good, but with my new goals in mind, I won't have time to write it anymore.

I know a lot of people loved it, and I loved writing it. I'm just upset that my last stand on this site will not be marked by the explosive finale of my critically acclaimed story, but a cliffhanger halfway through. If I ever have time, I may post my ideas for the rest of the story just so you won't be hanging, but that's unlikely.

I will not take down any of my stories, especially not this one, because people may want to re-read it since nothing new from me is forthcoming. My two years on this site were well spent, in no small part thanks to all of you. I'm sorry that I had to let you down. Maybe, in a few years, I'll come back and start writing again. But things are going to be a lot different.

See everyone later… I guess.
