Finally…this issue is finished. I apologize to all my readers. I was supposed to finish this issue two years ago. A lot has happened in those two years. And earlier this year I survived Covid-19 and became one of those Longhaulers…it has not been pretty. My mind and body were wrecked for months. PLEASE WEAR YOUR FREAKING MASK.

For a creative person dealing with Covid brainfog it is like being lobotomized. I’ve been in and out of doctors evaluations all year…but I think I’m going to be ok now.

But again…I’m a survivor. I miss that deep satisfaction from finishing a good story. If you have to, go back and read this story from the beginning. I think I’ve picked up all the pieces, and what Banara learns here will haunt her and the rest of our crew in later issues.

I’m not done writing yet. Let’s roll. A Deviant Mind #43 will be on sale soon at IndyPlanet.com!
