That image haunted me for a bit until I got to writing.<br /><br />Getting Alan to that point was challenging but enjoyable. I was amused when it became that standard horror movie moment of having to get extremely close to a horrible thing. I had not originally intended that scene but it worked within the logic of the story. Poor Alan. He should have gone home to be with his cats. His journey is only beginning.<br /><br />Apologies for the ongoing epic, as it were. I wanted this to be the last chapter, but I have some lingering medical issues that are keeping me from writing regularly. :-( As it stands there may be at least two more chapters before it's all said and done. :-/ buuuut I am kind of enjoying returning again and again to the same story with a new chapter. :-) I may have to explore that further once the <a href="http://zombiebites.blogspot.com/2014/01/featured-creature-reunion-at-merrimon.html" rel="nofollow">Reunion</a> is done.Campbell3555https://www.blogger.com/profile/07585422484294468381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890442.post-23414114493049316242014-03-04T03:30:49.556-05:002014-03-04T03:30:49.556-05:00Absolutely LOVE the macabre marionette imagery of ...Absolutely LOVE the macabre marionette imagery of Tim's corpse tangled in the creature's tentacles! So perfectly ruthless.<br /><br />I also thought Alan using the creature as a light source to read by was great. Sure, Alan has very limited options by that point but having him take that course of action really highlights his courage and resourcefulness.Eddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00765694914848450608noreply@blogger.com
