You nailed the suspense, Marilyn! Every word, every movement sent a chill wondering what was actually happening. Sorry I am so far behind...this writing in a month and being on vacation isn't working as well as I expected. LOL Nothing ever does!
thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work.
smiles, Carol

This chapter is so intense! You nailed the suspense with every detail. Especially that eerie figure tapping on her window. I felt like I was right there with Sarah! The pacing was fantastic! The headlights following her added an extra layer of dread and I couldn't help but wonder what's next. You've got such a great grip on keeping the reader hooked - this was thrilling from start to finish! Keep up the awesome work!

The tension continues in the story. What a mystery--what the heck is going on? It's the kind of thing the reader will put themselves in her place to think about whether or not they'd do it.

I was a little confused by the timing. She says it's 30 minutes to the industrial district but according to the countdown, she arrives at the road in 4 minutes from leaving the diner.

You have a few computer gremlins in this chapter, too.

Nice job!
