This was great. Absolutely great. Wonderful opening for a sequel, or hopefully a string of sequels.

Great take on the picture. Hope someone picks up the thread and adds a sequel. Dr. Davis could be anyone—maybe a plastic surgeon, maybe a chemist, maybe…

Very interesting, and a good setup for a future spin-off. Reminds me slightly of Hannibal Lecter…

Enchanting with a touch of the spooks.

Lovely, just lovely. And I think this is the third and markedly different ficlet I’ve seen with this pic as the inspiration.
