I started this book in Seattle; it was really only right and proper that I finish it in the same place. I have never written anything this long, this complicated, or this downright exhausting. My heart hurts. My everything hurts. But it's done, and after I give it a few hours to really settle, it'll be ready for revision.
It's done.
Alive or dead, the truth won't rest. And oh, we rose up while we could.
