I am alive and so is this! The journey of part two of my potentially poorly named series Ocular Haze has been a bit fraught, to say the least. The original draft was dumped for crit on the long-suffering StrangerSwing, who struggled through about two thirds of it before I allowed them to be free. In short it was a few edges the wrong side of Shadow the Hedgehog and not in a good way. It was also long and had basically nothing happen. Turns out serious prose is hard. So I gave up, worked a little on part three, and then materialised this in a single attempt. It's almost like being really, relentlessly, unselfconsciously edgy is hard to do or smth idk I'm a shitposter who took ten months to do part two of a web series with a fanbase of one really epic individual (it is me).
And of course, thank you to Tim Jim for crit on both this part and part three!
