The final seventeen chapters of the story occur in chronological order from June, 2018. This second half of the book was the opposite of the beginning and middle. The first half was easier to write but difficult to arrange in such a way as to keep the story moving along. The second half was easy to arrange, or rather, didn’t need hardly any arranging, but was difficult for me to write because I had to come to terms with many emotions I experienced throughout the period.
For instance, for Party Out Of Bounds, I had to think through the why of my uneasiness and suspicion that my new office space could be endangered by the prospect of a large party in the Disco Lobby. Many of the attendees disliked me, or so I felt, and I had to come to terms with how I felt little different from the exclusion from groups as a kid, or being at a party where I wasn’t welcome in high school. Decades later, I was dealing with the same crap. The same worries about becoming a target. Realizing this while writing about the experience a year after it occurred opened my eyes, finally, to what was really happening at the time.
