y'know...i hated leeches before this story, now i'm just freaked by them. thanks for the nightmares casey!

You really matured in your style when you wrote this one, consider this one posted on the House of Pain when Brigit updates the site. The style of this one reminds me greatly of William Hope Hodgson and Algernon Blackwood, the way you kill off your characters makes this story even more fun to read. This is what happens when someone reads Terry Lloyd Vinson's work -- stories get a lot darker and get a lot more graphic. This story for you is going to do what "Bite of the Spider" did for me. There is no suggestions I can make for you about making changes on the story because story is flawless in every way. This is the reason why you are part of the Tabloid Purposes line up, this one is written beyond your years -- it is safe to say that you are ahead of your time when writing this story.

Oh my goodness! That was a very creepy story, and had quite a few innovative deaths. Good job!
