Cruising has ended.

And it ended with a joke.

I've got two chapters of Chaos Theory finished that I'm polishing thanks to my proofreaders. I'll likely start posting after I finish Raison d'Etre.

Which brings me to the topic at hand.

Aria is in a very dark place and is addicted to something that she can recognize isn't a healthy outlet. But, because of her depression and cyclical anger, it's going to take a big kick to get her to change.

I'm not liking where my head is taking me, guys. I'm really not. But it is making sense, in a morbid sort of way.

I'm going to let this idea tumble through tonight and tomorrow and see if I can come up with an alternative.

Still a good ending tho.
And as for poor Aria...well, do what you think you must for her. Your readers will understand.

I know what you mean. I’m trying not to let Amphorae slide down into dark-tag territory, but it ain’t a picnic for any of the sirens. I think that pretty much has to be inherent in any examination of the sirens’ fate that’s remotely realistic.
