A note to all my readers:

I have been a bad author. I have abandoned this fiction and many assumed that I have left it for dead. But I could not. For four years, it has haunted the recesses of my mind and would not leave me until I have finished writing its end. And so I find myself, dear reader, at 9 o'clock on a Monday evening, typing furiously so that I could bridge the two lovers together. For those of you returning, I hope you enjoy this as you did the first time you read it, and for those of you who have just started, I hope that this fiction will shock, jerk, and move you. The work is in the process of revision, so for the former readers, you will notice that more than ¾ of my chapters are gone. Have no fear, the second batch should return by tomorrow or Wednesday night. Then we will start the new chapters. And so without further ado, I bring you…

Almost a Whisper.
