The Messengers Series, Book 1: World’s Apart, Chapter 32

Today is the conclusion. I realize that this is Memorial Day, and it is actually appropriate, because there is a memorial in this chapter.

Now that the first book is over, I’m sure you are all wondering: when is the second book? That is an excellent question. It is written, but it needs a serious edit. It is also a lot longer, like twice as long as the first.

I’m hoping to have it out by July or August, but don’t quote me on that one.

If you missed a chapter or two or three, then you should head to the ever-updating index here.

Anyway, the chapter is after the jump.
