Okay, I fully apologize for how this chapter just kind of ends. It's an unfortunate result of how Cousin Amber is structured. When I'm writing the stories I try to make each chapter be a sort of similar length to the others (depends on story, but usually around 2500 words or 10 pages worth). Now this doesn't have to be exact as it can vary a bit. Like Hunting Death, Orelai and Being Red all have this very defined chapter based on what events I have scripted for that chapter. Consortium is usually as many scenes as it takes to get close to the range I want. Most of the rest go by a sort of "this is a good enough stopping point that's in the range I want." And then there's Cousin Amber where the logical stopping points are frequently in awkward locations which would result in really long followed by really short chapters.

Anyway, new character Mark has appeared and actually is something that I think is something that is frequently overlooked. His ability is strong enough to be useful. The problem is that because he has no control over it it kind of restricts his ability to do much of anything. That there would be some people who just their power alone would end up forcing them to a life of crime. This is more of a point for the sequel, but still is an interesting enough point to bring up
