Some people are wondering where the heck the next chapter is, so I thought I'd say something here.

I had it almost ready for beta on May 14th--on which day a major wind storm snapped two key utility poles and knocked out power to a third of the town -- including my house. When the power finally came back on, I turned my computer on and tried to open the story file, only to find that there was something wrong with it and it wouldn't open (possibly because the file was open when the power went out -- I'm not sure). I had backups of all my chapters except the one I had almost had finished. Since then, I have been re-writing the chapter from notes and memory as time permits (the end of the school year is very busy, and not just during the regular work day). Hopefully, I will get the chapter finished this weekend.


"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”
