Thank you so much, Harriet! This was a very experimental piece for me in terms of the structure and subject matter. It seems like it was a success, though! Thank you so much for reading, I appreciate it.

It was Annieguile Bentulan's fault. :)

I don't normally like horror.

I came here to find that suggested article you wrote: the 10 points she mentioned in her piece.

But I can confidently say I am not surprised that you got successful. It was really good.

Congratulations!

Thanks. I hope I won’t disappoint. I don’t have much here and whatever I have is not my best, I guess…. :) You know, the truth is, even if we can, we can’t always shine. ;) But there might be some of my thoughts here that are worth contemplating about. :) I just subscribed back.

All good, I'm looking forward to checking it out! As I often say, what matters is that your art exists. It doesn't need to be perfect. The fact that you're putting it out into the world is what truly matters. 😊

Thank you again!

The slow unraveling of the horror made it all the more unsettling. This story tugs so close to my deepest fears, which made the ending hit even harder. As always Bradley 👏👏👏

It is something I've been brewing in my word with The Widow....I have no idea where it is coming from. I may have a clue now. 🤣

Haha, my horror mythos is filled with things both strange and unknowable. Excited to hear your thoughts on the ending. 👀

Amazing as always. I honestly didn’t expect it but once he was wrapped in vines it made complete sense. And the way you captured the fear of our character made me feel bad as well as interested in what the hell you have planned next.

WHOA I love this!! It's the perfect little slice of life with some insanity thrown in that is EXACTLY my jam.

The descriptions of everything are next level - you did so amazing!

Thank you, Mina! I feel like some of my love for imagery can get lost in faster-paced stories, so with this one, I wanted to slow down and highlight some of the finer details. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
