Noir with a low dose of LSD. I really dig this. This was copyrighted twelve years ago? Where did it originally appear?

Only in my mind and I let it marinate there since. Hopefully is wine and not vinegar. Thank you for you attention!

I see. And I am left wondering. Will you open this wet portal, see what terrors lie behind it. I will be waiting there, holding the mirror.

This was awesome and weird in the best way. Like, it's unmistakably noir but the descriptions themselves - dare I say the voice - they're metaphysical in a sense, almost spiritual. Very McCarthy of you. This is cool so curious to read on

Thank you Ben! I am in an existential crisis around adding pictures within chapters, is it cool or cringe? I change my mind every 6hrs

I definitely feel the protagonist's thoughts. I also feel soaked from the rain and it's not raining here at all. Great read, Madman.
