This story is so well done that after reading it for the fourth time it still feels like somebody hit me in the gut with a sledge hammer by the time I get to the sickening end.

I believe this is one of the best stories we have ever published.

Heh. I sure loved it, so I guess I'm just a sick puppy. My wife, on the other hand, thought it was nasty. To us horror writers, that is high praise.

I wonder what it would be like to dine out with them?

I appreciate your kindness, folks, and am glad you enjoyed my story. If you've got any questions or suggestions, please post them--I'm nowhere near perfect yet, and I never turn down a good piece of advice.

Thanks again!
