Third update: Anchor Foal (Patreon)

'I didn't want to leave you hanging, so I decided to leave you hanging.'

I know some people have been anticipating at least one of the ways in which this chapter ends, and...  well, after seeing the Comments section on the previous chapter, I just wanted everyone to move into fighting about something else.  

So the fifth post of June is 9800 more words into this story.  It also closes out the semi-saga of the mill, and I can only hope that someone appreciates the moment when it all tries to come together.  But it also ends on, if not a cliffhanger, then a rather abrupt moment.  One which asks for followup.

I'm not likely to try for six postings in June:  to that extent, the next chapter has to wait.  But this story is in endgame.  And that means that we're looking at a similar situation to Triptych and Duet.  The last push.

I'd like to make July into Anchor Foal Month.   

I don't know if five more chapters is enough to bring it home.  But if nothing else, we'll be that much closer to the finish line.  And let's face it:  this race has been on the track for a very long time.
