Good evening readers. Good evening to those of you who have been reading my work for some time. Good evening to those of you who only tagged along while I was writing Only at DragonTech. Good evening to those of you who have been reading my work since 2012.

It is with the heaviest heart that I write this notification to you. I do not offer you excuses. I do not ask for forgiveness. I only ask that you give me the gift of understanding.

During the month of April, I went to work one day and came back to a husk. My home burnt to the ground and I lost...everything. I have been deep in battle with insurance to try and rebuild, but if you have ever dealt with such things, you know that it is a slow slog through bureaucracy.

I...cannot say when I will return to Fanfiction. I cannot say what the next 12 months hold. Honestly, I cannot say whether I will ever return. I have far more questions than answers.

I bid all of you the best luck and wishes in your respective lives. I will leave you with one statement: After having this happen, I can say with certainty that you should never take anything for granted. Nothing.

Eagle.
