Thank you so very much, Flamingo. When I started this story, I had no idea how emotionally draining it would become. I actually cried as I wrote one of the scenes. I'm learning so much with each story I write, and most of all, figuring out how immersed an author needs to be to be totally honest in their words. Maybe, after a year of doing this writing stuff, I'm starting to figure a few things out. I had Dawn and Anachron right behind me, helping, too. Thank you for reading and commenting.
