Revived reminded me of some of Hawthorne's obsessed alchemist stories compressed into drabble format. Maybe we should be teaching John Watson in English class? Not getting rid of the classics, just expanding them into the 21st century.
A masterclass in micro-fiction dread. Creating that much visceral tension within the constraints of a drabble is no small feat
The final image in The Well, those skulls turned upward, waiting for the light, stayed with me. And the tragic irony of Revived delivered a genuine chill. Brilliantly dark work, John

Ah, a few devilish memories were tapped - - "the corpse bride." 🖤
Love your drabbles and "The Wizard" was really cool! 😁🖤
Thank you
Really great! So much happening in so few words!
Thank you
I'd love to find these stories printed out and left at museums, cafes and bars. Experimental style
That would be cool.
The best rewards are not paid in money—and neither are the worst bargains. A wonderfully sinister drabble.
Revived is an new old classic, I read it twice and then did the listen 🎶 so good John, all three!!!
Thank you
Interesting. Looking forward to reading your work.
An excellent trio in my fave format. Thank you!
Thank you
