It really pains me to do this, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to pull out. I'm really sorry about this. Like I mentioned earlier, I lost/forgot a lot of my original ideas, which hindered my progress, and I've also been lacking in inspiration in writing in general for a while now. I felt that forcibly churning out a story wouldn't a good thing, since it would lack innovation and creativity. A mediocre piece at best. A lot of my own laziness also comes into play too; had I picked up on this sooner, I probably would've reached the deadline.

I'm really torn. It's midnight here, and a part of me still wants to finish the job, but I'm suspect I wouldn't be happy with it, since I would have submitted it too late, which would have given me little time to double-check it and revise it. I doubt it'd be my best piece for something like this.

Like I said, I feel very bad for having to pull out because it feels like I'm breaking a promise. Hopefully, I can make up for it at some point in the future.
