*grumble*

Having slept on it, I'm not sure I like the way the last post went at the end. Comment would definitely be appreciated. :p Maybe I'll wind up doing a "director's cut" with an alternate ending, then clean it up afterwards.

The next two days will be filled with "deleted scenes" that I decided were important to the plot and/or character development, so a few things that may have been happening in the story will make sense on paper, and not just in my brain. :)

Thanks to everyone for reading! December is almost upon me, and I only have 5500 more words to go. :)
