Um...which board is this again? Oh, yes, the PG-13 limit board. I've bumped up against that limit a couple of times in various stories, and I really have no desire to cross over to the "naughty" side, so - no nookie. My apologies and condolences.

At least, nothing written down.

With that, I present to you the final chapter of this long road epic. And there is an epilogue coming up soon.

I'm sure you'll let me know what you think of this (almost) final installment.

Life isn't a support system for writing. It's the other way around.
