Hello everyone,

After several days of radio silence, I figured it was time to explain my absence. Briefly, I’ve been dealing with persistent flulike symptoms for the last several days, and whether it’s a run of the mill bug or the latest COVID variant that’s to blame, my head is quite foggy either way. It goes without saying that muddled thoughts make for less than ideal writing: for this reason, while I may muster up the willpower to push out a bare-bones release sometime before Christmas, most likely I’ll wait to make a full recovery before returning to the story.

Just in case this is my last update for the year, I’ll take this opportunity to wish you all safe and happy holidays, in the hopes that this disruption won’t be of too long duration. Take care,

E.F.
