Well this is great! Another unexpected continuation of the story. Did you have plans to keep it going like this, or was it something that just needed to be written? Either way, excellent stuff bringing in the Samurai and their apparent ability to hunt across worlds between. The *Between* gives me Stranger Things Upside Down vibes.

So will this continue on again for another piece??

Thanks, Nathan. When I wrote down Mother Insists, I had a few more scenes in mind. The Upside Down, yes, indeed, even though the Netherworld, the Between, is a concept you find a lot, if not for our fascination (or obsession?) with the afterlife and spirit world.

Jamie's story has not concluded. I will at least bring his current arc to an end.

Yes, I'm sure the Upside Down was inspired by such things.

Good to hear things haven't yet concluded!

Really enjoyed this, Alexander. The swing for the fences with the samurai demon hunters was great. It’s genuinely a story that I have no idea where it’ll go next which is a wonderful thing

I’ll also be rambling about demonic possession in my next post as it is that time of year 😁

Thanks, Daniel. I have a general idea and have some tent poles but how to get to them, will be a surprise to me as well. That's part of the fun.

Looking forward to your demonic contribution!

Thanks, Nadia! Unseen you say? Maybe I should work it into a screenplay? Make a movie!
