Thank you all for giving this short of a larger tale a read.  It means a lot to me and this work is  a very personal piece to me.

I have had a tough time putting this into words and allowing you to read this, so my hope is that you have enjoyed this work and when, or if, a full length novel is produced you give that one a chance as well.

Again, thank you
K. A. Stanley
Your humble servent.
