I know I missed posting Chapter 09 yesterday. Unfortunately, I was ill. I've been ill for a few days, actually, but it was pretty bad yesterday.
Anyway, I've posted chapters 09 and 10 this morning. Chapter 10 is kind of a bonus, though not because the story is late. Chapter 10 is pretty short so it didn't really make sense to post it on its own. I reserve the right, however, to post any future 'short chapters' on its own day (though, honestly, I can't think of any short chapters through the end of this part of the story).
