Spec Edits are Out

Whew, glad that's over. The Spec storyline has been overhauled. Some scenes were dropped, some were moved around, and several were created entirely new. The goal of the edits was to create a more engaging chapter, without changing the overall story too much, and hopefully I've succeeded. Rest easy; if you don't want to reread they still end up at the same place, but if you do want to reread, I'd love your feedback! The story is still imperfect but that's just the way it goes.
Now, on to Chapter 10. Stay tuned; it'll be out later this week.
