Try to avoid using saw, heard, felt, smelled.

Delete unnecessary 'that's.

I rolled. . . I got out of bed. . . used this same sentence earlier.

Good chapter.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Okay, now get your tail back on the keyboard and give me some more. I knew at the end of Doctorex's dream that it was an unholy vision. The beginning of it may have been the real Axtilla, but by the end I knew it was the evil and unholy entity. I like the way Klasco lets him know he cares. Both with the gift and the words. Glad you aren't letting them say all those brotherly mushy things, because men just don't do that. Even real brothers, there is always a warning or a joke. Great way to end the chapter. I like the cliff hanger.

    Gretchen, you prepared the most delightful way for me to start the day and begin the glide toward Father's Day! Mushy? Me! LOL, no, I made sure it was with purely manly limits.

To really mix up the pot, one has to add a questionable feminine interest. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a good read.

Great touch with the parallel dreams, Jay. The words flowed effortlessly across the page. Very nicely written - great dialogue and the imagery created during Doctrex's dream was excellent.

Opening and closing quotation marks missing...You and the brothers and Zurn....

A very nicely written chapter. The characters, especially Klasco, had their own personalities to make the story more interesting. The dialogue was good and the plot was easy to pick up without reading past chapters. Well written.

Your writing is impeccable. My Klasco story.
""Axtilla, I don't know--how did you--"

She shushed me with two fingers across my lips and then, without warning, she fell into my arms, quietly sobbing. I held her tightly to me until her breathing became more regular, with only occasional spasms. "Oh my Doc--trex, my dear, dear Doctrex. Why--why did you leave me?"

typo in Visitor in your title
you create an atmosphere of impending danger effectively
shushing with fingers, gripping her arm - excellent use of non-verbal communication to enhance the spoken conversation
and excellent dialogue that conveys emotion well
