As you can see, we’ve officially crossed over into novella length. The story proceeds apace, still hurtling toward parts unknown.
Also, if you’ll compare last week’s meter to today’s, you’ll notice that I’ve officially moved the goalposts. Had to happen sooner or later. There was never any realistic expectation of bringing this in under 20K.

A scream. Robin, unmistakably. She was calling Jaime’s name, over and over.
Then, smooth silence.
