Looks like I'm slowing down

It's been a while, I know. I had intended to post Part 5 as a whole, but real life, both bad and good, has caused me to slow down on the writing.

Did you ever get your dreams to come true? You should try it sometime! I have been spending a lot more time living my fantasies, which leaves me a lot less time to write about them. I have a few more chapters done, and I hope to finish Part 5 sometime soon, followed quickly by an epilogue, but I won't be held to any schedule.

Meanwhile, enjoy this short chapter. I enjoyed writing it!
