No AI was used in writing this section. Nor did I chat with AI about the plot. Of course, the images were generated by AI. Did I put in too many? Probably, but I liked the progression of the images which kind of matches the progression of Missouri's path in this story.

I should warn that this section has a bit of darkness, and the darkness will grow in the next part.

There are probably about 2 1/2 parts left.

I hope that you are enjoying this story. Please comment if you have the time!
