Oh my goddddd. This is an absolute shocker... had no idea where you were taking us with this. Chilling. Voodoo grandma - just pure evil, and justice too late ... horror stacked on top of ultimate sorrow.
im eating them all up! There’s a manageable number of entries to this one - like when there are 30 odd people submitting stories, its a challenge to read them all - there’s just one more left to get into now….
This was such a belter of a first piece for me to read from you, NJ! I was hooked in the whole time to see what this story was going to be by the end. Consider me a fan!
Heartrending & beautiful. NJ, you've done the seemingly impossible: written a plumbing story that plucks at the heartstrings. You are a true master of the craft.
I write a broad range of stuff but horror is one that’s constantly in rotation for sure. I’d probably just say speculative fiction I guess horror falls under that umbrella. I’ve had people tell me my horror writing is too much although I think I’m pretty tame 🤣
A haunting, gorgeously written tale of grief, betrayal, and supernatural justice. The house becomes witness, judge, and avenger. Chilling, tender, and unforgettable.
Lovely ending, I adore that the house was grieving. Your stories always keep me guessing and surprise me, they follow a logic purely of their own. This was wonderful to read!
I appreciate you M.P so very glad you enjoyed it because I enjoyed writing it. Bonus because I also love that the ending surprised you (and my twisted logic) 🤭 stay tuned for more

Means the world to me honestly because you can write the hell out of a story!
I feel the same about you! Kindred spirits.
Gosh, you two are adorable.
What can I say horror writers are secret softies 🤣
Oh totally!
I didn’t even realize that you considered yourself a horror writer. I think I need to update my definition on “horror”.

Buckle up Ken!! There’s another creepy one coming in about 10min.
Poor Ken!
Read this just before bed and woke up thinking about it. So haunting, it sinks into you.
That is literally exactly what I wanted to hear about it. Thank you for reading!
This is, indeed, the BEST compliment.
Powerful.
I expected a horror story and definitely got that, but what didn’t expect was it to be so heartbreaking. Great writing.
Thank you so very much! I’m glad you enjoyed it
So haunting and beautiful. I love that the house is kind of a part of their little family. Very cool ending, I loved it.
