Wow, that was something else. I loved the way you built up so slowly for that fabulous twist in the end.
Good luck in the contest!
Excellent story, the slow and detailed build was very reminiscent of some of Mr Dahl's creepier moments. I like the way you left the ending open. (Imagination working overtime!) Extra kudos for plugging the County Record Office and the services available therein. *grin*
Best of luck in the competition.
I like the history you gave to a very odd little contraption. It gave the story a nice depth. Now if only I could get hold of one of those devices... (minus the stilettos!)
I rarely post public comments, because I rarely think of one that hasn't been said already and more originally by other readers. But you've given me so much enjoyment, I can't resist.
Great writing Og. The praise isn't original, but your stories always are. Thank you.
