BEFORE YOU READ
This is my first writing and it's not that's good. The character development is all wrong and not where I wanted it to go. I mention some pretty rough things that I never had the chance to follow up on and it upsets me that it was treated as nothing. Please, if anything bothers you about the way things happen, know that they were supposed to be incorporated into further story that was never written because of plot holes I had to deal with first.
