Because I was forced to.
The gentle readers have a nasty habit of browbeating the poor writers until they cave and write that darn sequel that they never planned.
A Future Not Now was only meant to be a short story which was intended to examin how two (out of four) characters would initially cope with a particularly life altering situation. The monster that was spawned later is all the fault of the gentle readers 'encouragement' to write MORE!
