Some of you good readers may remember back in August I posted *THIS* particular thread of progress Tweets as I wrote a brand new story at lightning speed.
Well, the time has come to pull back the curtain and unveil what it was all about.
This brand new story, that clocks in at just under 17 pages long, is coming to the $5 tier of our Patreon this Christmas and now we have the title and an opening excerpt to tease just what kind of story this is going to be!

The War Of The Santas
December 25th, 2055
Location: North Pole
The candy apple red sleigh flew in for a smooth landing, about 4 hours later than what was once considered the normal. With an exhausted sigh, Santa Claus stepped heavily off of the deck into the ankle deep snow. He trudged forward towards the little cabin, patting each of the familiar 9 reindeer as he went.
The cabin’s front door swung open sending a shaft of light out in a widening beam, providing a welcoming path for him to follow.
“You’re late, Nicholas.” a warm voice called out to him.
Reaching the porch, he stomped the snow off of his boots, stepped into the house, closed the door, and replied in a tired voice. “It’s getting harder every year, Jessica. Almost 11 billion people…that’s a lot of kids to visit.”
“I know, love.” Mrs. Claus replied, worry creeping into her voice.
“I’m sad to admit it, but it may be time to start looking into some more help.” he said with disappointment.
“Nick,” she started softly, grabbing his hand and pulling him into a loving hug “nobody could keep up with the pace for nearly as long as you have.”
“Jess…”
“Nick, don’t start that again!” She admonished sharply, before quickly softening, “You are not a failure.” He leaned into her hug.
