Wes, speaking as someone who is somewhat well known for cliffhangers, ------- I hate being on the receiving end!

Come on, I didn't think it was that bad!

You want a cliffhanger, think of it from my perspective. I had the story pretty well figured out up through about the end of chapter 14 years ago, but I was just absolutely stumped about what happened from that point onward. One afternoon about a year and a half ago I just sat down and started pecking away at what became chapter 15, just letting things happen, and was surprised to find the rest of the story coming into focus.

Sometimes these things don't fall into place all at once, and I'm sure you know that as well as I do.

Ahh! that explains it, because I'm one of those weird ducks who can read chapter 1 and have an idea what the author is going to write in chapter 3 -- and don't ask me how it works, 'cause I don't know. (I seldom get too far lost on your tales, but I do make some mistakes, which is what makes your tri-weekly postings fun and why I enjoy reading serials!)

In this case I saw 3 possible results, but now, after hearing your explanation, I have almost eliminated 2 of them.
