Stephen, AKA Sir Stephen of King, would approve. Or in the words of another pop cultural treasure : " IT'S PEOPLE ! ". Been YEARS since I last viewed Soylent Green.

David, that story was one wild Halloween ride. The character development was excellent, and Gary was a very mysterious character himself. For a bit, I thought he lived in Hawthorne house. The mysterious part of him didn't prepare you for his becoming Bronwen's next snack. Bravo!

Your storytelling in Ghoulfriend deftly captures the reader’s attention with its vivid imagery and well-paced narrative. Gary’s curiosity and Bronwen’s cunning play off each other brilliantly, leading to a climax that is both darkly humorous and chilling. It’s a masterful tale that showcases your talent for creating immersive, unsettling fiction. Brilliant!

I like her 'tude' which is no bullshit, call it like you see it:

“I know your type. You got lost on your way home, and you need help getting back. Well, don’t ask me to lead you there, dumb-ass. You bumbled your way into this house, by the looks of it, so you can just bumble your way out of it again.”

A true badass: After she had checked to see that no one was approaching, she tore off a strip of his clothes, ripped a piece of his flesh from his body, and started to consume it.

Goulish and great!
