Thank you to those of you who have accessed this chapter. I am sorry to say that there is, in all likelihood, not going to be any further chapters to this story. There are many reasons for this. A) This story is pure and utter crap, and unless I go back and revise thoroughly--something I don't have time or energy to do--it worth no more than a notch on the wall, marking my growth as a writer. B) I really like the story, but don't have enough ideas as to how to finish it. AKA, I came up with a great starting, but have no idea how to end it. C) This story really disgusts me, and I would really need to go back and change a lot of stuff in order for me to continue it. D) I can't think of, but I'm sure other reasons exist.

There is always the possibility that I might take this chapter down someday, and replace it with a new and real 'content chapter', but the likelihood of this happening goes down every day.

However, if you like this work, not all hope is lost.

First, look at the stuff I have recently updated on this account, because that stuff is most likely something I will continue to work on.

And then, more importantly...
