Sorry for a complete lack of updates, but struggling with a bout of depression after itchi.io changed their policy on adult material, which meant there is nowhere to put my CYOA content. FA doesn't support HTML files. As you can imagine the psychic damage was super effective. That, and my city has been blanketed in smoke from forest fires the last week and the temperatures are hovering around 30C. In Canada. The place that is notoriously supposed to be cold. I start sweating in 10C, 20C is too hot. 30C is my mind is in an unending state of panic, like an insect that fell into a camp fire except there is nowhere to go and nothing I can do but fucking cook alive. I cannot sleep in this heat, I have no appetite, and my hyperfixation basically inverts and suddenly its like I have ADHD. I am so dehydrated my body is getting stiff because my tendons are half mummified at this point.

I don't even turn the lights on because the lightbulb gives off too much heat. It is so hot here that my TV is turning blue- because the phosphor coating on the white LCDs is melting off. Can't afford to fix that. It is so hot the fan I use in the back window melted. The metal screws got so hot they melted the plastic case and the engine fell off inside the blade cage. It is now being held in place with an old shoelace tied to a knife on the back of it. We ordered an AC for the downstairs at least at the start of the year... months later called to find out where the hell it is, and the moron didn't even put in the order in their office, so the people he works for were not even aware we placed an order in the first place. And it took so long to figure this out that they sold out of the ACs because summer hit, so now months after THAT we still don't have one. Do we not have it because they're still sold out, or because they forgot to actually put the order through again? Who knows!

Anyway, the next story was supposed to come out a few days ago but heat make brain no work... it IS done, like, right now. But it is also getting an illustration, which has delayed it further. Because unsurprisingly the heat also makes me draw slow. So, either tonight, or early tomorrow. Probably early tomorrow- I don't like posting too late because then no one is around to see it. But who knows. It ain't far off either way.
