Great jump from the story. I like how you turn the very dramatic statement into that of a very foolish woman, considering what she’s caused to happen. Unless=Until in the second to last paragraph? Typo?

oops. Thanks!

I liked this so much that I decided to play too! I hope you don’t mind. :)

Very Lovecraftian. Lovecraftesque. Lovecraftish? … And then I saw your tags, so I don’t feel as cool for catching that vibe.
