It also reminds me of Poltergeist with its evil tv screen. Always glad to be introduced to a new kink.

At the same time, I found myself smiling at your gentle nod to Mr. Wilde. I look forward to more reads from you. Thank you!<br /><br />L.S. SharrowL.S.

I think you have a nice arc in this story, though I think your character could use a bit more depth. Other than that, this is a really great job. I highly enjoyed reading this.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10258995113608890109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155197540326010032.post-89484894063217046762015-10-26T11:17:44.791+00:002015-10-26T11:17:44.791+00:00I enjoyed reading this two-page story.
