First things first.

This isn't a chapter, and I'm sorry for that. it's been an extremely long time, and all I can say is that I'm sorry.

Some things happened, that's for sure, but what?

I was diagnosed with depression and, among other things, began to spiral after my home was burglarized.

Not looking for any sympathy I just want you to understand me when I say that if I could have posted, I would have.

Fast forward and, well, my mind just wasn't in writing anything, much less finishing this story.

It doesn't help that everything that I've written so far is gone.

I know you guys have waited a while already, and it seems selfish to ask but, for me, can you wait a bit longer?

It's coming, I promise.
