Life's a jerk · 6:18am Jun 9th, 2015
Sorry for the massive delay between chapters 4 and 5. I don't like to make excuses, but I feel justified in this case: Life dropped a big load of awful on me all at once, and I'm still dealing with the results.
Just over a month ago, my dad died. He lived out of state, and we weren't very close lately, but it devastated me all the same. Maybe the fact that we weren't close made this even worse, since the times we had together were so many years ago and so few. When he fell sick, my brother flew down to be with him and got there before he passed, but he never woke up. My sister and mom were also amazing and handled so much of what I couldn't. Thank you all.
On top of that, work was very stressful and I got really sick (certainly caused by the stress of it all). Only recently did I start to feel like me again. I've been writing more now and I hope to get the next several chapters posted soon (6, 7, and 8 are written and just need editing).
Anyway, sorry for the sob story, but I feel better for having said it.
Rest in peace, dad.

Thank you. With strength like this, I didn't know I had it until I needed it. You're stronger than you think!
