Well, this is nightmarish. And your use of Deliverance was very effective.

Nicely done.

I didn't get to comment on this after initially reading, but I wanted to pop back in and say hellll yeaah. Glad to have you back here writing again, Ken. I've missed your stories.

Thanks Sean. Happy to be back. It's not all there yet but we're getting better!

Wowza! That is high-octane horror! I did not want to go with them and kept trying to pull them all back in that time-honored way readers have (no, no, no, go back!) but we all went down that slope together. Great nightmare!

Thanks Liz. I hope it held up a little. I keep trying to get back into some simple horror stories but they just keep going to a real place.

Ah, they so often do (or maybe they never leave those real places). It’s always a pleasure to read your work.

Whenever I feel that troubled and foreboding unease in your writing, I can't turn back either. Just like them, I have to keep moving to where I know I shouldn't. It's in most of us, I believe. Just around the bend. Just a little further until we stare into the face of horror. Great job Ken. - Jim
