heated argument with the parentals (part 2)

First, a huge THANK YOU to my paid subscribers. Like I’ve said before, it means so much to me that you’d pay to read my words here. Especially in this economy.

I’ve lost a few writing jobs over the past year because of AI, and I’m currently in starving artist mode. Clinging to hope that I’ll find a way forward without selling my soul.

Your support keeps me going—both mentally/emotionally and financially. So thank you. (thank you thank you thank you)

Also, sorry for the cliffhanger last time. I promise to finish the story in this installment.
