Serious apologies, broodlings, but there won't be a chapter tonight. I got hit hard with a nasty bout of vertigo today and it wiped me out more than I expected. Head spinning, focus shot, and anything longer than a sentence feels like trying to write while falling down a staircase. I'd rather miss a night than push out something sloppy or half-cooked.
The good news is this isn't a long-term thing. I'm resting, hydrating, and letting my brain settle back into the correct orientation. Assuming everything behaves, I should be back on track tomorrow and ready to bring the pain as usual. Thanks for the patience, and as always—stay brutal.
