You didn’t warn us this was turning into a horror story! I’m with Sharon… I might have gotten out of the boat, but as soon as I came across the spider web, I would’ve beat sheets back to the boat. I never would’ve made it through the cornfield.

Exciting stuff,J. I zipped through this chapter wanting to know what was next for poor George. You come up with some dandy imagery, for example, "It can take a high dive off the Empire State Building and land on a bicycle with no seat." Well written action that is full of suspense. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Ha! Thanks KC. That phrase has been in my head since I was in primary school. The original version of the text I wrote had a long diatribe that included something about normal could follow the meatball that fell of the spaghetti, too. 🀣

Thanks, as always, for reading. Looking forward to how you react to the coming chapters!

"...A crackle of dried leaves..."

"...a shadow trailing talons..."

"...Then came the growl..."

"...stomp huff stomp..."

Pretty exciting stuff here, Mr. Curtis! ( As for me, I am still cowering back in the boat...)

I get it. If we learned anything from Apocalypse Now it was, β€œNever get out of the boat. Absolutely goddamn right.”
