Chapter II will be posted sometime tomorrow (Friday, 1/14).<br /><br />Oh, and Katey - "I look forward to seeing where you go with it." - Uhm. Me, too! ;) <br /><br />We'll see. I have the first seven chapters mostly completed, so I have a little over a month and a half to start writing the rest of this thing. I know where this story is going, but I'm not sure exactly how I'll get there. Not yet anyway. There is much strangeness in store. That I can guarantee! ;)T.J.

(Identifying with the guardrail? Nice.)

The POV shift kind of threw me at first but I see now how Bill's visions weave into his experiences.

At least so far. There may be some alternating perspectives that come up in later chapters.T.J.

Nice that you managed to conflate the protag's entire past world in a few words. It did make me nervous to see the POV change to the woman in the car, which had passed, but I'm going to assume a certain magic realism is at work here. Let's see more!Walt Giersbachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06326037798233835128noreply@blogger.com
