Author’s note: At this point, I was eliminated from the contest. Quite frankly, I was surprised I made it this far. But I kept following the contest on my own, adding chapters based on the provided prompts and within the deadline the remaining contestants had to meet, and once the contest finished, I decided to keep this going using prompts I’d pull from various sources around the site. This was way too much fun to stop.8964 copyright protection304PENANAJTrSdumthX 維尼
