Hi @dirge. I really enjoyed reading this horror story and was particularly impressed with the clever use of exposition to create an unexpected ending. I wanted to invite you to our community on discord. I am the poetry/fiction mentor over at #promo-mentors.

If you fancy joining a friendly and supportive community of steemians come and check us out 🙂

You have been scouted by @promo-mentors. We are a community of new and veteran Steemians and we are always on the look out for promising authors.

I would like to invite you to our discord group https://discord.gg/vDPAFqb.

When you are there send me a message if you get lost! (My Discord name is the same as here on Steemit)
