Chapter 9 is now available. This final chapter of Part 2 was one of the most difficult to write, as you can imagine if you’ve read it already

. Scenes from it were some of the first I wrote when I started all of this (my writing is only linear in the

) It’s a necessary evil though, so don’t hold it against me forever.
Part 3 begins Sunday with another double chapter posting as those first two are fairly short. We’ll switch gears once more but I’m sure you’ll be pleased if you like what you’ve read so far
