Holy moly, what a story! Rather Poe-esque, and really imaginative & enjoyable!

Yay, that’s great to hear. I haven’t returned to this one for a long time. Was one of the first things I wrote here. Thanks so much for taking a look!

You’re welcome, and on further thought, I thought this piece would be right at home on “The Twilight Zone”!

What a bizarre dream! You may have done a lot of climbing and mixed it with the manga. I still remember some dreams where I had excessive hours of e.g. programming, which made its way into dreams, so bizarre, I still remember them after 20 years. Very vivid imagery here.

It's part of my ROM. (Read only memory). All the important stuff is in the RAM... overwritten daily 😂
