a great piece!
I get Tim Burton visuals, and I read Poe and about a thousand other influences.
I love this:
The peppermint man
with the roll-up face
and moon rock eyes
and hair of lace
This belongs somewhere that lots of people can see it.
"The Peppermint Man" that you have created, {with a very few age sensitive word changes}, could be the next Grimm -like tale I read to My grandchildren on their next visit. You have a very unique talent for this field of writing and I, for one, sincerely hope you continue in it. An excellent write - probably My favorite of the day.

A wonderful storyteller's weaving of what could be a sinister bedtime fable.
