Hey folks,

  This story has been removed so KDP doesn't get bent out of shape about it being published in two places at once. Thank you everyone who took the time to read and follow along in the original draft of this story. It has since been edited and re-released to market standards, and if you'd be so kind, I'd appreciate a borrow and a review there! Every little bit helps.
