The Hidden Shelf

I’m at 14,000 words on this science-fiction story.  I don’t often say this about all of my stories but, well, I think it’ll be worth the wait.  I’ve also decided to make it more than a single shot.  That unfortunately puts me in the uncomfortable position of having… what?  3 multi chapter stories right now?  But, I’ve found that sometimes I don’t really have that much control of the stories.
