Well, it's been quite an experience. But, like all things, it must come to an end. I am now 17 years old and in my junior year of high school. Junior year is, as those of you who have already suffered through it know, hell. And I'm only in my third week of it. It will be a long year.

But it's not without it's virtues. I am learning a lot and my friends are amazingly fun. My senior friends, especially, have been most helpful in getting me through the stress of my particularly hard classes (which they've already taken). And there are the theatre productions this year to look forward to. I just auditioned for the musical "Pirates of Penzance" today. It should be a fun, but stressful year.

Because of all this newfound stress (and the fact that I haven't updated this site in over a year) I will really not have time at all to work on this website. I had up to chapter three posted here, and I had writted up to chapter seven. Then my hard drive crashed and my computer got erased and I had only backed up the first four chapters. Fortunately I had printed the others and now it's just a matter of retyping them . . . which will not be for a VERY long time because of my school and drama commitments.

I would like to thank everybody who read my story. So, those ten of you out there, thank you! Maybe someday in the very distant future when I'm out of school and have finished my book it will be published and you can buy it and finally read it and say "I read the first three chapters of this book online when the author was still working on it!" That would be cool.

For now, though, I must say goodbye! It's been fun, but I will not have time to work on it anymore.

Farewell!
