That, right there, was pretty damn creepy.

On the one hand, you really learn to care for the narrator, Brian. He seems to be a sweet dad who is struggling with being a single parent - the same reason I love SH1 so much. On the other hand, the ending - well terrifyingly abrupt - left me with a lot of questions. What happened to Mira? Was she in cahoots with the Mutilated Man..? It almost seemed like she had some sort of control over him, which was extremely unpleasant to think about for all sorts of reasons.

Not answering those questions full-out is one of the reasons this story works so well. We're limited to what Brian observes, and the more he pieces together, the more frightening things get. I can see why you're proud of this one - you should be. Thank you very much for alerting me to it's presence! I'm as good as eyeless myself, when it comes to looking for new writings -

A wreath of Adonis' flowers for painful memories that just won't die.
