Gee wiz, all these characters seem to be having a rough time.  I know how they feel.  Well, yeah, because I created them but that’s a given.  No December is a rough month for me because there’s so much to do.  The next  two weeks look particularity brutal for me so we’ll see how many pages I can churn out for them.  Should still be at least one but I find that a little frustrating.  This chapter is getting near the end which means the next one will be … uh, next!  Hopefully this odd chapter of short stories has been interesting enough to read as it was to write.  We’ll see more next week for one final update this decade!
