Whoa. Stunning. I will have to noodle on this a bit.

I no longer think Tom is pathetic and pitiful – now he’s a creep! Can’t wait to find out what happens next.

I got a sequel in mind, just haven’t gotten a chance to post last couple days. I’ll try to get it out today. Hehe

Brutal twist. I like the layers here, from fear, to desperate conniving, to callous opportunism. Great, great stuff!
