This chapter is the longest of the lot, and also the darkest, so do be wary if that worries you. Ironically, it's also the most illuminating character-wise, so we'd really like to see your comments on it. Thanks so much to the people who've been feedbacking the other chapters as well :-).
The spell checker says that 'feedbacking' is not actually a word. Pish, I say!
Part One is here.
Part Two is here.
Part Three is here.
Worse and worse...
