Ouch, not the dog John. You know I was holding it together until that moment. Nonetheless I had to keep reading. This was an incredible read. One that you can’t stop reading even when it hurts.

That was the part that made my wife scream out loud when she had the nightmare. I basically worked backward from that point to build the story. It was too devastating to omit.

There's always a price and a steep one. At least, Randy's family has a chance here, though. Very well-written, John.

Very “Fall of the House of Usher” & such. For me, it burns more of the question of who started these deals to begin with — Heaven, or Hell?

A "fingernail fragment wedged into his upper gum" omg omg. There are no shortcuts - or rather, there are, but none that one would want to take. Great story, John.
