Thank you all for your input. It was fun to try something different, but that was just too different. It's just not what I write and that was a big part of my indecision on which way to go with the next chapter. I'm actually glad it got such mixed reviews, or even negative ones. I don't feel like I have to keep going with a writing style that I think I can pull off in the short term, but I know I can't keep up. As I worked on the following chapter(s), what I was writing was flowing but at the same time it felt like a burden. I knew I couldn't keep on writing material like that for very long. So thank you for giving me such wonderful feedback.?
I promise there will be drama and some humor too as they make their escape.
