Grand Central Arena: Teaser Completion

The first chapter isn't just a cliffhanger, it's an *annoying* cliffhanger. You KNOW you're about to get to (what the author, at least, thinks is) the cool stuff, and it stops.

So I will not be *entirely* cruel to those who read the first chapter.

( You can at least find out why Doctor Sandrisson screamed. )

Am I not merciful?
