There should be a "Love" button for me to click on something this good!

Now, I have an exquisite example of what a short flash piece can be. One that is not horror, not terrifying, just oh so possible true. The kind of ghost story to tell sitting around the fire in the dark of night. Perfection!

That might be one of the loveliest compliments my writing has ever received. Thank you so much. I’m really happy the story stayed with you in that quiet haunting kind of way.

Your voice is so austere you can count the beats between the words.
