“Rebekah, 2001. Cheryl, 2001. Whitney, 2003.”

This was a terribly poignant moment in the story, one that landed like a hit in the stomach. But, of course, that’s exactly the feeling we’re seeking out when reading a powerful story like this.

Really well crafted. That list of names tells the reader so much of the story, in an emotionally charged way, in so few words.

This has been an all too common occurrence with the wicked and the vulnerable. Evil entices, coerces, forces those like Juniper to become the fodder. Unfortunately there is rarely an intervention! Think Charles Mansion and one of his followers just released.

love this and also love how you made it stand alone. I haven’t read all of them but having a recap allowed me to get involved. Well done!

Thanks Mike! I don't know if they all work as stand alone stories...I'm going to go back and edit after next week's drops. It was hard to do. The recap was recommended by Mark Starlin. It was such a "duh" moment for me. I can't keep track of popular shows that I love. Of course my readers need a recap!
