May I be the first to say, congratulations on winning my personal Halloween story contest.
Great construction of narrative, loved the little switcheroos and fake-outs.
Believe me, if I could be horrified by fictional goings-on, rather than having my horror-buds saturated by real-life ones that I see every day, this would do it.
This is PERFECTION. mysterious... dreadful... horrifying...not a word wasted...and leaving so many questions...It has the feel about it that you got an idea and it all just poured out perfectly... was it like that?
I would recommend reading this on Halloween but maybe a little earlier in the day? Because now I have to watch something comparatively gentle and palette cleansing before bed, like The Ring or It. 😩
What a great story, EJ. I enjoyed the Hell out of it. It's the best thing of the day, even better than the seventeen bite-size Milky Ways I've had. Great prose and humor.
Oh my God! EJ, that is a fantastic story. I started reading and was rivited. Forgot where I was. Forgot the time. I was lost in the earthquake, the boiling lake, the 'possessed' kids. Your narrative style and using DJ as a possible catalist or a distraction was very effective. There wasn't, for my money, anything in the story that didn't work. It was horror and it was tight.

I have always dreamed of being better than even one milky way
