Revision History

This novel is still work in progress. After chapters appear, they generally undergo slight modification. Perhaps in response to feedback (very much appreciated!), or changes of heart, or to repair plot conflicts. Minor fixes are not noted here. 

And now this page itself has been revised. Following unusually significant additions to Chapter 4 (a satirical take on research into aging; more information about events on the morning Standish's remains were found), it was divided into two, so every subsequent chapter had to be renumbered. To avoid this page becoming overburdened, the revision history has been granted a new beginning. Only revisions posted after today (June 6, 2026) will be noted below. 

As before, only significant updates are summarized (under bold font headers, for the most recent additions):

Chapters 1-11 were originally posted between July 23, 2025 and June 6 2026
