Oh I like this. It leaves an uncertainty with the reader even after the last line. Is Emily really haunting him or is she just a projection of his tortured mind? And did he let her die or does he blame himself? Leaving questions unanswered is what makes this story enjoyable.
Thanks! I’ve never deliberately written a scene that leaves so many unanswered questions for the reader (bad writing doesn’t count!), so I was a bit nervous at first.
