Hold on man he's cooking

lots of elided hyphens

didn't finish the chapter, got hungry
ok so the no apostrophes are mostly for one syllable 'not' contractions: dont, wont, cant, aint as well as oclock for whatever reason but basically everything else still gets its apostrophe.

the names are kind of fire: Christmas, Hightower, Burden, Bunch, Burch, and Grove

page 66 "dont" in narration and page 72 "couldn't" and "didn't" in narration. I might be on to nothing bro

"said" as we build up from three years ago to the present day. "said" even during the present day until lena shows up with her "suspicion of the now" and suddenly "says."

also, *mvc 2 caster voice* merry christmas!

chapter 1!

dont/wont/cant/aint = no apostrophes. might only occur in dialogue

's/'ll/'m = apostrophes. appear in narration. might be others
