  1. Wow! You really used the stream of consciousness element to your advantage with this one. The cut-off at the end and the implications are so good, I’m floored. Writing 55ers are hard, but it’s also incredibly hard to write a 55er that doesn’t feel like one with how every word is used, and you managed to do both beautifully. I love Horror that ends with a line that punches you right in the gut. And while tired, too? Wow! Good job! :>
