Teaser?
I’m sorry guys, I… am… swamped. Literally, the swamp creature rose up out of the an angry pile of muck and crickets and sat on me. For no reason. Just to be evil. I mean, I am terrified of crickets. That is just spiteful.
I have a breather this afternoon and I’m working on updating. A massive massive update. Goal: Tommorrow. Expectation: Saturday. I have to take some pictures and do some edits, and I’m planning on stuffing two chapter parts into one… or releasing them at the same time. Or something. And I know I’m a wet sock with the emails and comments, just bear with me.
To whet your palate (or make you completely frustrated with me) A TEASER! I think?
Yay, you live! Unfortunately, I’m about to lose internet for an undetermined amount of time due to moving. But when I get back? I promise I’ll catch up, promise.
Go beat down that evil swamp creature! Also, crickets? Rly? LOL

Aw, fuck… I WANT TO READ THE NEXT CHAPTER EVEN MORE NOW GFHVJHMNVJVBVMNNGMNVM
But, y’know, if you update tomorrow, it would make at least one overworked school student happy after a day spent with the Witch Of Evil, also known as my art teacher….

It’s coming! I had a bit of a conniption yesterday over Ten Years Prior, and got nothing done, so I fail. But I AM ON IT!
I’ll write a story about your art teacher la Witch of Evil, and drop her down a mine shaft in the end. Knowing my style of writing, she might come back to life, climb out of the shaft, and destroy humanity as we know it, BUT for your purposes, I will just stop writing after the mine shaft incident

Oh, please do. She seems unable to not criticise everybody’s work – and doesn’t accept that we are actually human and therefore CAN’T DO FIVE PAGES OF WORK IN THREE HOURS AT A FUCKING ART GALLERY WITH NOWHERE TO EVEN SIT DOWN AND DRAW.

actually I broke up with a guy who stomped on a cricket…because he stomped on the cricket.
It is so GOOD to see you back again!!! And yeah, the teaser – stomp on anything you want to get this out there!!

Hahahahaha! What was the dude’s reaction?! Oh, I love that. Yeah, I’m not big on the killing part either, just the running and screaming part. The boy, or usually anyone within hearing range, has to come and re-home the little bugger outside, approximately 500 yards from the house.
Hehe, I need to stomp on my brain to kick start it.

OOOOOOOOO A TEASER!!!
Take as much time as you need, Veron
Sucks that I will be without internet for the weekend, though, so I may have to wait a few days to read your chapter
My guess is that ten people will update while I’m gone and I’ll have tons of catch-up to do when I get back

Oh my gosh, Van, I don’t even know where to start. I was just looking around at all the sites and wanted to cry. I’m so behind. It’s impossible. But no worries you, I figure, the farther behind on AtC everyone is, the less they’ll notice when I’m late on updates

HOORAYYYYY looking forward to it!!! and I LOL’ed at Penelope’s comment
But crickets!! At least cartoon-y crickets.. those are cute!! dawww little Cricky from Mulan?! C’mon!!!
I have to agree with you though, I flip out if anything remotely creepy-crawler-ish comes near me. There was a spider on the copy machine today at work and I had to literally bite my tongue to stop from screaming and sending my papers flying every which way. Instead, I calmly stacked my papers and backed away slowly, pretending like ‘what? what are you talking about? i have all my copies… riiiiiight here. Yep.’
haah another midnight comment for you

Okay, MAYBE the cricket from mulan. He was cute. But not all cartoony crickets. JIMINY?! FUCKS WITH MY DREAMS.
Hehehehehe, the classic freak out over something 100,000 times smaller than you. Why can’t people understand that it is a completely rational, natural, healthy response?
