There's about 9700 words in this chapter.
I was terrified to write every last one of them.
The next run will be harder. More draining. Saturated with fear.
The next chapter is where I have to explain myself, and hope the pieces all come together for the readers. That it makes sense.
And when that chapter ends, if it closes out January with no more to come for a time... I expect to hear screams.
