Nice, thanks for writing this. This is one of my candidates for a top spot in DREAD Reviews 19.

Hey, thank you! Sorry for the delay, it's been crazy with the S&S project. But this means a lot!

This is some excellent writing. Your descriptions were lyrical in a terrifying way.

Thanks Jennifer! I'm still stuck on some epic piece of writing so your words came at a perfect time to give me a confidence boost! I can't wait until S&S drops. It's driving me crazy!!

Too kind, EJ. I'm looking forward to May 13th, btw. I'm hoping to snag a physical copy, because I'm driving myself crazy figuring out what Ouija Bird could be about!

In my business years, lightyears ago, I remember having my back against the wall and racing the clock to get that report in by EOD, to finish AND PRINT...AND BIND that presentation by 1:00 and so forth - but luckily, I never had my back up against that wild wall and that crazy clock. Gotta tell you Ken, even in the regular world, you nailed it. But in that world you just created? Flat out terrifying. Great stuff. - Jim

Thanks Jim! This one almost broke me. The writing hasn't been exactly flowing lately. I don't know if it's the smoking or the massive amount of reading I've been doing off-platform. But I finished it! Hopefully the page is turned and I can start wandering around the stacks again. I feel like a real tool for not engaging as much with others these past few weeks-- even if it seemed necessary.

Well, you’ll never be a tool. But if you feel like one my friend, be the hammer and not the nail. - Jim

Stealing this from my latest short. Make it a Ball Peen hammer. I just like the sound of that for some damn reason.

Yes! I was tempted to quote that line, you know? Like a coin chinking down a pipe.
