This is a little different for you, isn't it? But you kept us in suspense. Good job. Happy New Year, Lee!

This started out kind of gruesome for me, but I like the twist at the end. Happy New Year!

I was trying for humor-- three potential lynchers bumbling the job and winding up glad they had.

Nice job! I was surprised by the ending, if a little suspicious :D

I'd like to write about Nell one of these days--slow with thoughts but quick to understand important things about life, especially animals.

Happy New Year, Lee. Always a pleasure to read your stories. Love this suspenseful take. I would also love to read something like the horror suspense series you recently did.

I'll have to think of another tale that might be akin to The Curse of Havenwood House. Thanks, Sonia.
