A serial is a publishing format that breaks down a larger work of narration into sequential installments for publication in magazines or newspapers. Serials were popular in the late 1800s, and early 1900s, and even appeared in the Montevideo American News in the 1920s.

As I was under a heavy blanket in my basement, (a friend had texted and said, “Get down there NOW and cover yourself so you don’t get hit with flying debris!”) I thought about a column I had written a couple years ago about emergency preparedness. And I was kicking myself for thinking, “I will get this taken care of later.” It was later and my only flashlight was in my car (with waning batteries, I later found out), my important documents were in various places so I ran and grabbed what I could remember and found a candle.
