This kept me on edge the entire time. The imagery of the warped glass, the 'sweet rot,' and that final image of Felix with the mummified girl is chilling. You’ve captured that specific kind of dread where the protagonist realizes too late that he isn't the master of the house, but merely its latest addition.

Gan, you’ve reached a whole new level I didn’t think existed. How do you even come up with this plot? Absolutely astonishing!

Grabbed by invisible force, so old and deep that it would pull in like even Will could never have caused. I mean the text and not its content, both are mindnumbing in the good way but one is like glued to the words and they lead readers search. So symbols came first, but while reading it one only saw a story in images, seen like my eyes have seen light so blue that seeing them saw-like having for light an unsatiable thirst.

Thank you

wow, i am on to something to make such effects in readers

Good idea. Also is kind of my possibly best goal and achievement to reach.

But then again I really value all of my subscriptions and reads, especially if they come in a different vibe than mine.

Interesting use of the passive throughout--obscuring the agent and focusing on the object...the house and its horrors. Tantalizing read.

always a pleasure

The mom-voice coming back from the house..? I hate that it’s almost normal, like a tiny scolding in a hallway, and then suddenly... it’s not normal at all.

not normal, i would have left before it got out of hand

What is resting under that mind of yours? Whatever / whoever it is has me memorized … it writes every story with a comfortable uneasiness that I love - great work , my friend.
