“Ah ha ha. Finally, a mistake,” he cackled maniacally. Wait, um… where was I? Oh yes. “Until recently” in this passage, “the doorway of her until recently much-adored teacher,” should probably be set off by em-dashes or commas. Other than that, brilliant as always. I love “wrapped in the river’s embrace.” Nice imagery. Though I’m inclined to believe someone will dive in after her.
I know everyone’s going on about the imagery, but it’s awesome, I’m not gonna lie. I’m thinking Perkins might be right; I have the feeling Sissy’s not completely out of the picture quite yet.
On another series I might kill a character to spite the readers (which says a lot about my own pathology), but this series has been plotted out since ficlet #1 to bring us here, where it all started with a very bad dream. Wrap up soon to follow. Thanks for all the great comments, everyone!
