The tail end of Matt's Thursday is submitted to the mods for posting. It starts with the mysterious request for help that Lana made at the end of Chapter 23 and encompasses the rest of that evening.
Thanks again to everyone who writes and to everyone who sent me their best wishes during this past week in the wake of the storm that turned my life upside down. There's still a lot to clean up and assess how much we lost, but we're starting to get a sense of the damage and throw out what we can't save.
