Okay... so. First of all. Sorry for the long delay here. I lost my job and have been dealing with really hard life stuff as a result and well... This story's namesake.
And second of all. Hoooly crap did the quality of this chapter suffer as a result?! Oh my God...! If I was an English instructor, I'd give this entry a super ultra mega monster F minus to the power of infinity cubed...!
...Okay it's not THAT bad, but, in shorter terms... I don't like it. Then again, I never like what I create. I am over critical of myself, I know. What matters is what you think. So what say you?
Here is chapter 16..

4,674 words.

...ALSO I JUST REALIZED THAT THIS IS THE FIRST AND MAYBE ONLY CHAPTER WHERE KLAUS ISN'T IN IT. WHAT.
