The epilogue has been posted, and I anticipate no new surprises or twists. I'm certain that many of you are now relieved that this tale has come to an ending. I plan to wait for a board moderator or someone at the archive to let me know if I can post it there before I submit it for inclusion.

Thanks to the brave few who left feedback. I know this wasn't everyone's cup of tea.

Special thanks to Bakasi for her help with the German translations. Computers are great tools, but they only go so far.

I promise that my next story won't be anything like this one. See y'all soon!
