#AtoZChallenge 2026 letter J

My theme for the 2026 A to Z Challenge is plotting Book Three in my Existence series — Cave of Existence.

The "act one problem" is where the protagonist discovers they have an issue they have to resolve, and is asked to set off on the story adventure. The protagonist decides whether or not to do whatever it is they need to do. This is where we are in the story now.

Xavier suggests trying to find the guy. The problem, of course, is that they have no idea where to look. 
"Well, we know he dropped by your parents' place in February of nineteen-ninety-five. So, sure, that ought to make it easy. Caleb, break out the bloodhounds, gotta follow an old trail." Heath rubbed his face with his palm following his sarcastic remark. 
Hannah suggests that the guy might show up at their important life events. This steers the conversation to Wend and Xavier having a child, which might cause him to show up. Thus, Wend reveals that she seems to be barren. An argument breaks out in the group over how to deal with this situation. 


How might you comfort someone who was struggling with infertility?
