Alrighty, guys. Chapter one is up. I intend on finishing this story. It really does get interesting as we go. Feel free to toss me some critique, it's always appreciated.
If only a few people actually take the time to read this, that'll make me oh so happy. I realize it's unrealistic to ask people to take a lot of time out of their lives to analyze a piece of amateur literature, but the few people who do are invaluable.
