Concluding The Encounter · 8:43pm Oct 3rd, 2015
I'm about halfway through the last chapter, and for those of you following me, I deeply appreciate it!
The last chapter is going to be much, MUCH longer than my previous ones, but I promise it will be worth the wait. I can't promise a happy ending, but I'm doing my best to make it an interesting one.
