As the world slowly starts to change, we take a look at a slowly evolving world through a single family's perspective. (Step Family. No actual incest.)
"Maybe I'll go back and add it as the "lost" chapter or something eventually"
That is an awesome idea and I love you for even having it. Of course, I actually enjoyed this story enough that I finally felt compelled to register on this site, just so I could write this out and tell you as much. So, uh, yeah, much love for all your work here, and no complaints beyond the massive tease in this chapter.
Really enjoyed this story, thought it was well written, and the characters were all well fleshed out. I didn't have any problems with Jenna turning on her husband, in fact I actually felt it was a bit overdue. That said, I can understand why others might have felt it seemed sudden, since there was a significant time gap between chapters. Thus, a lot of off-screen things that we have to take the narrator's word on.
I'm not sure if I'm articulating that very well.
As for the epilogue, it would take place just moments later, but then suddenly go to a flashback about Debra, her step mom, and her step brother. The reason I didn't write it as part of the story is because it's VERY similar to chapter 13, so I thought it would be better to come back and add it later once chapter 13 has had enough breathing room to where it doesn't look like I just remade the same chapter! It's less of an epilogue and more of a "bonus" chapter.
I feel obligated to say that breathing room is severely overrated. Of course, I only say that because I'm still cursing that tease in chapter 13.
Just the same, I really enjoyed this, and I hope to see a lot more from you.
