Hah! a chapter in a day, at last

[ritaxis]

But a short one -- 2300 words.

I think it may be another time to look at lengths.

Chapter 14 -3104
Chapter 15 - 2926
Chapter 16 - 2764
Chapter 17 - 3535
Chapter 18 - 2300

So this chapter is significantly shorter than the "walking rhythm" of 8-10 pages, but only a little bit, but it's also the only one with a death on camera, so I think it's a good thing for it to be abrupt.

I'm a little spooked about the next chapter. I know I have notes, but it's really like the second step in the underpants road to world domination ("First, steal underpants. Third, world domination.")

I had to think hard about alcohol poisoning.
