Fixed the typo.  This has to be the worst installment ever for typos — I caught and fixed dozens while writing and proofreading it.  Very odd.

I’ve added a foreword about the name change — hopefully that will make things easier for people who haven’t read it, yet.

Apparently Sky and Rain are similar enough in my mind that I didn’t really catch the change.

Glad you mention the name change, you had me confused for a few seconds LOL

btw, something I noticed: “going go in”

1) Yes, I did change “Rain”‘s name to “Sky”. 

2) Sebatinsky did a recorded interview with me on Sunday, so if you ever wanted to hear my pleasing falsetto, now’s your chance.  ;-)

And, yes, I know it does suck having to read it in pieces.  Unfortunately, there’s little I can do about it.  :-(  All in, this one took 12-15 hours to write, and it’s not even one of the better episodes.  I suppose one option is for you to come back in three years when it’s all finished, and then you can read the whole thing.

Wait, did I just say that?  Scratch that.  Be here next week, damnit!

“the heat after been outside for so long”,
shouldnt this be “the heat after being outside for so long”? Or is this a subtle plot device showing how nauseous Tiergan really is?

Still enjoying every update. I must say, though, reading chapters weekly rather than as one long narrative all in one sitting does make for some drastic change of pace.
