Did she already know what I would ask her for?

Announcement

Hello, dear readers and patrons.

I am writing this message to inform you of the reason why I was unable to publish last Wednesday's chapter. Last week a big storm hit the area where I live and caused a lot of problems. It was just rain, mostly, but on a catastrophic scale. It rained over 400 millimeters in a few hours, which turned most of the streets into rivers. The amount of rainwater was such that the government decided to cut electricity services for safety, which in turn prevented the water service from functioning properly. Gas and telephone services were also cut off in some areas due to the damage caused by the water, many of which resulted in fatalities. Houses collapsed, cars were swept away and, in some areas, even asphalt was washed off the streets.

I am mostly okay, fortunately, but I am not in a state to write at the moment for several reasons. One of them is that I am only using the battery of my cell phone to keep in touch since I still can't charge it at home, which is still without power.

I hope to be able to get back to the usual pace of publishing as soon as possible, but at the moment I have no way of knowing when that will be.

I hope you are well, wherever you are. Thank you for continuing to read my novel. Your support is a ray of light in the darkness.
