I've been experiencing some pretty severe bouts of illness recently.

  When such an incident occurs, I am left unable to act in any meaningful way for upwards of nine hours.

  I will not bore you with the details, I just want to apologize.

  This would not have happened if I had created a large enough backlog that could account for a 'bad string of illness.'

  Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.

  Therefore, due to my negligence, I will be unable to upload today's chapter.

  However, I will be uploading an additional chapter this weekend as a 1:1 compensation.

  I know that removing one chapter, and adding another is not truly an equal exchange, as someone may have been looking forward to a chapter today.

  For those troubled by that unfortunate nuance, I can only sincerely apologize.
