You are so right, technology is tiresome. I have a few issues with my platform as well, and dread the idea of trying to transfer all my postings to another medium. But fear not, I'll follow your blog no matter where it ends up.<br />~jonJ. M.

With the ground shaking beneath him, and the images played out on the screens, my guess is your MC will have plenty of time alone to contemplate her name and the path he has chosen.
