This is all getting very creepy and surreal for poor Miranda. This is an uncomfortable feeling for Miranda. She knows her instincts are usually right but she feels restrained by some other, more cautious considerations (now loosing their grip). It's building up to a showdown, me thinks! Well done on this excellent write, Gretchen. Debbie

My god, Gretchen, that was a horror story! Goodness know what is going to happen next, but I do want to see that creep cut down, literally! I think that Tomlin jerk is going after Miranda now. Big time! I can't wait to read on. Well done, my friend. This was great!! :)) Sandra xx

    Thank you Sandra. I try to tie in the previous book from time to time. I figured that Miranda would still be haunted by finding Ed Preston's body. I really appreciate this. Gretchen

Gretchen, this is an amazing chapter. I enjoy her dialogues with herself, and I know she is right to trust her gut instincts. What a horrid dream - a cloud of black flies coming out of his mouth! Ominous (implying another death), and filled with tension. Very vivid imagery (as friendly as a rabid dog, the reptilian eyes, the peppery sarcasm (perfect!), You are right - these situations build until there is a dramatic and fearful explosion. Wonderful writing.
Wendy

Those are awful kinds of dreams. She is also good at seeing the future coming down the road to hit her. Tomlin seems like the kind of person who never forgets a wrong, real or imagined. I like your imagery with the black flies and Tomlin's alligator eyes.

That was some nasty dream. I think that man will attempt to get to Miranda through Waylon. He is that type. Sic Dougie on him. His male pride might click on. :-) Karen

    I think Dougie might get himself into real trouble. Lol. Thank you for this. Gretchen

People like Mr Tomlin have a habit of getting under our skin. I often have a talk with my reflection, often to instil some confidence in myself. Another fine readable chapter Gretchen. You have a wonderful inventive way with words and these lines were my favourite:

(I swallow the peppery taste of sarcasm)
(Alligators smile in a similar fashion, flashing teeth and cold reptilian eyes).

Love Dolly x x x

Hello, I found your writing interesting but lacking information. I would have liked to have heard more about Mr. Tomlin. What makes him so creepy, and how is he making trouble for Miranda or Waylon? From the storyline, I get that Mr. Tomlin is Waylon's school teacher. How is he a threat to Waylon? How old is Waylon? Inquiry minds want to know.
