Omg. I need more. 😫 sooo good!!! You inspired to write some horror fiction too. I've been kicking around an idea for a few years now, only recently wondering if it belongs on substack. You've opened the door and im gonna dance thru it. Thank you!!!

Also I'm gonna be glued for the next ones. I kinda liked the pathetic guy the most lol. I want to know what his history is!

Very modern mythology 🤌🏽. I liked the way the women’s conversations seemed so real compared to the abstract nature they viewed Alive. I also like that I can be over thinking it and it’s just these three beating and kidnapping a man 😂

Yes! I always feel like I'm going on a ride and don't know where I'll end up when I read your stories NJ. Always like a movie. This one felt like a Jordan Peele movie, upsetting and funny at the same time.
