    Thank you, but as always, I felt uncomfortable until I posted a work glorifying The Lord afterwarde.

I do not like this kind of writing. I do not like this kind of story. I am not into horror type things. I wish you the very best with your writing, however and I did listen to the whole thing all the way through.

    Thank you. This is not my favorite kind of writing, but I have viewed many noir films of the forties and fifties and tried to emulate their style.

    I probably would?ve stopped reading it earlier, but you had mentioned yesterday that you wanted to see how many people would read all the way through it. Usually when I come across one of these things, I would not read it all the way through but I remembered what you said about posting it.

You kept me on the edge of my seat with this write. It's very well written. Good job.

could only grab Billy from the seat next to him. (grab Billy from the seat beside him)

"...had a husband!" he laughed, (He laughed,)

pushing you to one end and sitting next to you. (sitting beside you)

You write very well and you have the ability to take readers through your work .I have read many of your work and most of them seem very dark...This is too dark ....too horrible..

    I agree and I wrote it. I do not want this to be the type associated with me. I was trying to emulate noir films of the forties and fifties but I will try to return to other types of writing.

Wow. What a riveting read that keeps the reader engrossed and at the edge of their seat. You are a great story-teller and writer. This story had a great plot.

I was glad I found one of your stories that hadn't expired yet to read and then I read this horror story. Come on Jim, I thought your would never write something so horrible. I misjudged you.

    That wasn't my type of writing. I had seen some noir films and tried to emulate the style and dialogue. I would never write anything graphic and I don't think I'll try anything like this again.

This is a really tense piece, and I thought the pace in your story was excellent. The dialogue between the character's held my attention and I could feel Emily's fear. I really enjoyed it.
