hey all, i figure some of you have been following this story since it was originally published; looked pretty interesting at first, right? i thought so too. then i realized 'oh man, what have i gotten myself into? i have to finish this story at some point.' well, this is where i say 'i dont have enough experience to know what to do in these situations'. i felt like i literally wrote myself into a corner that i couldn't get out of. so, this is it: the end, after this, no more story; just re-reads. (maybe i'll regret saying all this later too, w/e)

thanks for reading anyway. i hope i came off as somebody that you could talk to on the level with if ever the moment arose. and if you come back just to read a few chapters then go back out again, that's fine with me.
