2nd Post

There is a silver lining to all grey clouds, and mine came in the form of my fellow wordsmith, who has graciously agreed to assist me with the continuation of my long, dormant, and incomplete story, and with that... everything.

It came as quite the shock that it's sat here on the site for so long without nigh a word added for months. In fact, to the unseen eyes of the readers, I've only been able to add a paragraph here and there over the better part of a year. No doubt to their disappointment.

I regret that I've sat on this story so long, it was never my intention to leave things where they were, so, I've done some brain knocking with my friend, and he's been kind enough to lend his hand at bringing this story of mine to a conclusion. With any luck, the next chapter will be posted soon, with the last two to follow, hopefully by year's end.

A huge "Thank You" to all my readers, and subscribers.

A very special "Thank You" to Davidism for his mad writing skills, and for taking time away from his own writing career to assist me in collaboration.

Thanks for "the magics!"
