Sequel was Dan's Idea!

And what a great idea it was! I had chills reading this. It is the top haunt of my day. I love the way the tension builds with every line right up to the end. Haunted Places are my favorite to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there, burr! So thank you Stan and Dan (for urging him on) I have no suggestions, just appreciation for the work rendered!

always, Cat (& eddy)

Stan,

this gave me a reminder of the Blairwitch Project film (Stan be careful if you watch this alone at home in the dark, it will scare your pyjamas right off ya and that will then scare the pyjama's off your neighbours and it will be a bloody nightmare on Elm Street part 12). Where the people kept trying to find their way out and kept ending up where they started...and then the shit really hit the fan.

Again, you've used a simple rhyming sequence to keep the story bubbling along just like the first...although as I read further down I found I was reading faster...almost in a panic.

Don't change a word, it all fits and works like a dream.

Impressive imagination my friend.

You are a relaxing read...I need relaxing from time to time.
