Chapter 24

Short and to the point. I admit I padded this one a little. I was originally going to stop it at 11 pages, but that's a bit light for my taste so I added a little more; brought in a secondary character and added a short dream. It eventually ended with 16 pages, but as with all my writing, it will probably inflate to at least 18-20 after editing. Chapter 25 is the culmination so it will be a little hard to write. If I really wanted to, I could simply end the book there, but I think I want to throw a little curve ball  and see how that works out. If i find it too much after the fact, I can always cut it.
