Eh, nothing wrong with guessing wrong. I think cliffhangers have a place in storytelling, but it didn’t feel right to me to have one here. I wanted the first chapter to sort of set the stage for the rest of the story, introduce our key players, a few of their motivations and personality traits, bits of history and world building. Stuff like that yah? Give a good solid launching point for all the future events to springboard off, and some anchors to extend a flashback or two.
So I was wrong. Long story to wake up to in the middle of the night for Diane. So much for sleep.
