My Life: Fitz explains a few things

**Please note that the following material contains ‘spoilers’ to the actual story. Mild ones, granted, but they are there. You might want to read the chapters before reading this.**

Okay. I’ve noticed from some of the reviews that there is a bit of confusion. The odd gaps in the timeline have thrown off several readers.

First off, I want to apologize. My own train of thought tends to leap around, and sometimes I forget that I have to explain a little when I make an abrupt subject change.

Next, I will explain things. This will be updated with each chapter, so if ever you are confused, refer back to this section.

TIMELINE:

Little Notes: Is this helpful? What else can I do to make things less confusing? (That is, barring story mysteries. Those are to remain secret until the author is ready to reveal it. You all know that. ^_~) Please let me know.
