Chilling, Alexander. Some gorgeous prose in here, just like in the first entry.

Dark and mysterious continuation.

I will be rereading all of these once the final third is out!

PS you managed a "crimson" this week too ;)

Great story, Alexander. I was completely drawn in by the pacing and the movement of the character through the streets, through the mental twist. I was reminded also of Babette in Don DeLillo’s “White Noise” and her fear of death driving her to trade her body for the experimental drug Dylar. And Babette’s husband Jack experiencing the similar paranoia (well I guess its not paranoia of it turns about to be a fact) as he hunts down his tormentor. Even if it’s not a perfect pairing, anytime i can make a connection to DeLillo makes me enjoy the read! Thanks again and nice work throwing some crimson in there….i feel this may have been a coordinated effort with Nathan lol.
