The start of a new chapter! In which we will find out what Mattie said to Rita that had to be so deeply encrypted.
This is a monologue I’ve been working towards since, oooh, chapter VII or thereabouts. It will continue for the next couple of pages, culminating in an unglitched version of that page you’ve been seeing hints of for the entire third volume of the story.
hi I just came home from the work session at the bar and I didn’t actually eat anything today so one glass of cider got me pretty wasted. Also I finished a page before I got all wasted. Don’t worry it was already half done when I started drinking.
Up next: That One Page In Chapter 14.
At long last! It’s THAT PAGE.
This is the end of chapter 14; next up is chapter 25, unless I decide to add one more page here to make the narrative point that this chapter cuts off before Rita makes her choice.
