It goes from being sarcastic and not completely serious (Exhibit “A” : first paragraph) to being horrifyingly real very suddenly. I want to keep reading. (Hint, hint.) LoA
Intriguing. I was drawn in in by your title and the story did not disappoint. I liked how the story made me feel as disoriented as John by not quite disclosing who is speaking to him, and how he still felt dread despite no nervous system. Looking forward to more. LoA
Great setting and dilemma, and he did not do what I expected. Nice job surprising me. I think I have a tendency to over-identify with my characters and make them fit into the mold of some paragon of archaic virtue. You’ve inspired me to make a less-than-noble character! Thanks.

Mama always said, “Eckhouse is as Eckhouse does.” The shortest distance between two points is an Eckhouse in the opposite direction. Take me to bed, Eckhouse, or lose me forever. Jesus Christ, Doc, you disintegrated Eckhouse! Be careful what you shoot at; some things in here don’t react well to Eckhouse. No, Mr. Eckhouse, I expect you to die. Does Eckhouse know that you raid his wardrobe?
