Author’s Note

Okay, so initially I didn't consider just how intense this story's subject matter can be for some, so I didn't think it necessary to even add a disclaimer. There definitely are some triggering aspects within the pages of this beast. That said, I apologize if any of this triggers anyone, and I apologize if I give you nightmares. As someone with an extremely dark sense of humor, I was amused to write all the scenarios depicted in this volume. However, the reality still stands that, for some people, this isn't the case. Most people won't find it funny. I laugh at bizarre and dark things, you might not. So again, I apologize, and it is seriously not my intention to cause unpleasant side effects, especially of the mental sort.

Also, please keep in mind that I do not glorify darkness, I just don’t believe that everything is sunshine and rainbows because that’s not realistic and moreover, it isn’t half as interesting as tragedy.

Another thing: this story is still technically a first draft, and needs tons of editing so please don’t come for my kneecaps if you notice some plot holes or inconsistencies.

   Thanks for dealing with me!

   Much love,
