Well, 9 is posted and it took sweat not ink. Sorry about the bile that threads its way through the chapter 9 like poison but I had to say it! Something of a rant; sorry everybody.

10 is ready for posting but until I get through 11, I cant post 10 unless there's some re-writing to do to maintain plot and continuity. (At the moment, I think I'm sometimes losing the plot!)

I'm only just keeping up with this story at the moment, been on a bit of a downer these past few days.

See the viputrative diatribe I posted as a comment on dear Drea's story 'Becoming whole 2'.
