The Characterization Chapters of My Economics 101 Novel Are Getting There

Practically a tweet.

I found myself all tangled up in the plot of my on-line novel, Economics 101.

So I wrote a bunch of chapters trying to show how they got there. I've finished the first draft of those chapters, and I think I made it fit together:
