Hello, just popping in! Your story was actually the first ever IF I played -- and I loved it! It was like a whole new world, a completely different form of story building and MC immersion I'd never known was possible before. And it was all for free!! After reading all your updated chapters, I immediately dove into the world of Interactive Fiction, squirreling away ever single one I could find. I've played through about 5 other IF pieces now, and I've loved every moment of it. I still keep coming back to this game, though -- it holds a special place in my heart as the first piece of IF I ever played, and I'll always hold out that it'll be completed, one day.
If you don't want to go back to this story anymore, then that's completely alright. But I just wanted to give my thanks for creating this story -- for creating it so well, that I went through every page(?) with a rising, giddy, wave of euphoria in my chest. I'm glad this was my first peek into the Interactive Fiction world. Wherever you are, whatever you're doing now, I hope that you thrive. I hope you live well. Truly. Thank you. :)
