Chapter stalks the moonlit streets, across cobbles and brick and soot-stained asphalt, singing to the gutter-rats and urban foxes following at her heels.

An epub version of the chapter is also attached, as always!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! Chapter ... 35?! Are we almost there?! Well, kinda! The one thing I can say for certain is that the next chapter is not the final one of the arc. Right now, looking at my notes and outlines, it says that chapter 37 is the final chapter of arc 24. Probably. Our poor Heather is dealing with so much emotional turmoil, so many facets and aspects of who she is and what she needs, here at the gateway to her sister's rescue, that it turns out this section of the story is considerably longer and more complex than I had planned for. But!!! I think it is going well, I hope. We're nearing the end now. The end, the descent, and a splashdown!
Because, of course, the end of arc 24 is not the end of Book One. Even once this is over, we've got a little epilogue in store. (I think I've mentioned that before, once or twice or three times.) So! There might be a sneaky little extra thing lurking about too, we'll have to see.
I hope you all enjoy this one, dear readers. I'm glad you're here with me, on this wild ride into the center of Heather's dreams, for you are the best audience any writer could ask for. Thank you for reading! Thank you for being here with Katalepsis! Here we go, once more, down into the dreams at the heart of Wonderland ...
