Ladies and gentlemen—

I regret to inform everyone that chapter thirteen will be postponed for a bit longer. I was nearly finished with it (I know that I overshot my deadline) and my computer crashed. Hence, I lost all of the work I'd already done on it.

Fear not, as I've outlined the entire chapter, perhaps the thirteenth will turn out better than my previous attempt. I'm beginning to wonder if I should skip and call it chapter fourteen, simply for the fact that I seem to be having the worst luck with this one.

I will be doing my best to re-start and complete it, but I can't make any promises as to when it will be posted. Of course, I would like to know if there are still some avid readers out there. Your support is greatly appreciated, even if I haven't been the most dependable author as of late.

Wish me luck.
