Dearest Reader,

As a courtesy to those who are still following this story I feel it is only appropriate to inform you that I have made the conscious decision to remove my story from this website.

I started writing this when I native and inexperienced, which can be seen in the quality of the writing. I tried to bring the story back to life several times, but I know now that time and maturity have made doing that impossible. I now feel that the story is a misinterpretation of my abilities as a writer and a storyteller.

For these reasons I will be removing this story a week from the printed date below. Please feel free to enjoy this story until that time.

Thank you for your loyalty,

DFC
