Lex did not know exactly what to expect when he returned. A part of him expected to land in the middle of a war-torn battleground, with buildings half destroyed and bullets flying in the air. Maybe he expected the city to be under lockdown. Maybe he was thinking he would see soldiers pushing innocent civilians around, and a band of resistance fighters made up from civilians fighting back.
The fanciful stories he had filled his head with were many, but the one thing he was not expecting at all was for everything to be normal. Though it was early in the day, people could be seen walking around the streets casually. Some were walking their dogs, others were sitting on benches and reading books. The wind raised a few skirts, a few men slammed cabs and yelled 'I'm walking here' and a few other, completely standard and not at all stereotypical everyday things happened.
Hey guys, so I have a bit of news. Some of you may know that I write this novel in my free time and have a full-time job besides (not to mention somewhat of a life occasionally xD ). Writing takes up way more time than I anticipated when I started this, but I've been doing it cus I enjoy it and the feedback I get from you guys is great. Some days, honestly, reading the chapter comments if my favourite part of the day. But I haven't been giving it enough time to do extra stuff because I never really thought this is something that could replace my job. I still honestly don't, but a man can dream. So with that in mind, I'm gonna start spending more time on this novel now. I'm working on the discord server and when I finish figuring out bots and channels and what not, I'll launch that. I have a 4 day holiday from work so my aim is to pump out some privileged chapters this weekend, and I'm working on a lot more stuff. I appreciate all the support you guys give, thank you so much for giving my book a chance, and giving me the opportunity to at least dream of a different life.
