A Stray to Botaram

A Stray to Botaram: Hard to See

Transcript

Title: Hard to See
(The passage is narrow, Aun hunches down and moves forward but Chax's head scrapes on the ceiling.)
Chax: I don’t think I can make it through here, Aun.
Aun: Ayi, you’re right. Just try to pull me back if I get into trouble.
(Aun presses on past dark and sharp shapes, listening to the faint thrumming of the station in the background.)
Aun: Too dark, hard to see...
(Suddenly some horrid but familiar noises arise from the darkness.)
Screeching noises: khyyyyaa, khhekhiii
Aun: Oh, Nai...!

Still Still Alive…

Posted on December 17, 2012 by JJA

Still recovering and still feeling down because I can’t get anything done, Botaram included. I hope things get better soon.

I’m Still Alive…

Even if I don’t feel like it. %?)

Between my slow recovery and trying to keep my business going, I’m having a rough time right now. Thanks for bearing with me. I will persevere, and I hope to continue soon.

Thanks!

Health Improving

Posted on November 17, 2012 by JJA

Things have gotten much better (I was able to leave the house for a few hours today), but the extended bedrest means that I’ve fallen behind in a lot of work, Botaram included. I was way over-optimistic with my previous estimates, as usual. I will strive to straighten things out this weekend.

Too Much Power…

Posted on November 8, 2012 by JJA

As of this writing, I am back online in a warm and well-illuminated house. I’d like to thank our neighbors, Laura and Alexis, for sharing the use of their generator during the first few days, and our friends, Betsy and Stefan Burr, for opening their house to us, sharing dinner with us, and lending us their generator in our time of need.

However, it seems that while wrestling with setting up the heavy generator, I dealt my back a blow from which it has yet to recover. I am therefore bedridden for now, and so am postponing the next entry of Botaram to the coming Monday.

Until!

Sandstorm

I am at least provisionally in the path of the East Coast hurricane, and have just gotten the hatches reasonably battened. I will be working on Botaram tonight and tomorrow as power and laptop battery permit. Provided that cell coverage remains, I should have the next entry up by tomorrow evening. Until!

Botaram Returns T(hurs)day!

Posted on September 10, 2012 by JJA

I am still alive, and I’m not giving up. I’m sorry for the delay.

Botaram Returns Today!

Posted on September 3, 2012 by JJA

I will be spending this Labor Day laboring on the update. Please look for it this evening.

UPDATE: I find the most curious ways of shooting myself in the foot. Please hold on a bit longer…

UPDATE UPDATE: Life’s kicking me in the pants at the moment. I haven’t forgotten.

What’s going on…

Posted on August 22, 2012 by JJA

Still not dead, but now having some health concerns in addition to other worries. This isn’t shaping up to be a good year…

Nevertheless, I am assigning a firm date for Botaram’s return; I expect to be back in the saddle on Monday, September the third. I trust that I will not be proven wrong.

To those who are still checking in, I thank you for bearing with me.
