Hello, I will get straight to the point and tell you I have decided to stop updating this story. It has been weighing heavily on me but ultimately I can't connect with the story as well as I used to anymore. That, as well as the fact that the story is nowhere near as good as I had hoped to make it. I am grateful for the people that read it and gave any comments on either how good it was or how bad it was. This was my first project as being a writer and I am still pretty proud of it. But, I can no longer find the drive to work on this anymore due to how much of the early story is written. There is a lot of room for improvement, and that's being nice.
Once again, I am sorry for the cliffhanger and leaving this where it is. I plan on possibly doing a do-over of this but I am not certain.
