I really love your take on this! The style feels so intimate and tense. I was on edge the whole time.

Well worth the wait to read.

This was so unnerving, haunting, and beautiful. As somebody else in the comments said, it is so difficult to capture the feeling of a dream in writing, yet you do such a wonderful job with this. I'm looking forward to reading more of your work.

I love the idea of familiar strangers. We see them all the time. Commuting, or in our neighborhoods. If you're a people watcher, you can know these people intimately pretty quickly. I've thought about writing a story on this for a long time. I'm happy you captured it here and cross polinated it with her dream world and the Blackwater universe. Super well done. Thank you.
