When I saw your username I smiled. Not just because it was nice to see you post on Literotica but more so because I knew that I was in for a reading/immersive experience. You have a way of weaving words into tangible feelings so easily visualized/felt — so often just a few words. One example among many come to mind: “Ashes have a way of sticking to everything.” So true in reality, so true metaphorically. And once again the creation of flawed, believably real characters within a psychologically captivating storyline. Thanks for sharing; could not have been easy to craft — or maybe it was. Almost felt like it poured out. So looking forward.
A very deft piece of writing conveying a deep sense of sadness and longing. It promises to be a harrowing journey but, I think, a worthwhile one. Five stars.
It is scary how well you write about pain. I will cry a little tonight, but tears are good, they wash away the pain.
Welcome back. An intriguing beginning to what promises to be a intricate storyline.
Because you are the train's engineer, I'm coming along for the ride, wherever you take us. I trust you. Having said that, this is already a hard ride, with a few trigger elements that resonate for me, not so much in terms of my own life experiences, but because of my best friend's life story. So I am scared but hopeful for Lily, but scared....really scared. Amj glad you're back for this. Missed you.
OMG …… childhood and parenting …… if a horror show can play a dirty game, it starts in the childhood, and develops quite easily into the adult times ….. destroying a kids soul is perversion …… tears welling up and i feel so drained, yes my demons are online …… wonderfully written …… thank tou for sharing

So unlike your other work ... It's ... darker, making me feel, like sensing and probing into the story. The wonderful stream-of-consciousness, flowing from the first page grabbed me, and the developments after that leave me uncomfortable, ill at ease. I look forward to the next episode, but with some trepidation.
