In the year I've been writing this I've had almost 2 000 views, a number that I never ever expected to reach. And it's been 3 months song I updated, and that whole time I've been trying to think of something, anything, to write.

And I've got nothing. Absolutely nothing. There have been so so many chapters that have been written, deleted and rewritten again. So many branching storylines that just went nowhere. I tried jumping into the past, to tell a tale of Ardelis' life before the outbreak. I played around with a whole new set of characters. Nothing seemed to stick, nothing stood out to me.

So, I've decided it's in my best interests to end the story where it is. No more chapters, no more updates. Where it is now, I'm leaving it.

I don't even know where it's going, or where the ending is, I was just writing. And doing that can only get you so far. Ending this here opens me up to write more different stories.

So thank you for reading, and hopefully when I write again, you'll all check in for it as much as you did this one.
