“His skin seemed to color the bone of his skull as though it was part of it.”

Wonderful Jimmy.

When I was younger I read Gormenghast, and this phrase rekindled memories of that world. Thank you.

Oh my, WOW!

Great story!

"and one of Roger’s gifts splattered all over Lieutenant Habrum’s shoes."

I'll be sharing it.

This is chilling, funny, horrible. Nightmarish and needs a next chapter (or 11 earlier ones)

I started feeling as if I was choking at one point)(and note to self: no caramels!)

Excellent thriller. A few key details while leaving the rest to the reader well paints the killer.

“Derryanne swallowed wrong and began to choke.” If you’re ever alone and you start choking, you need to know how to save yourself! This is a good video teaching you how to do that! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQUKhyZ9j7s
