Jilted lover cast in oak, the door resisted my advances – wonderfully over-the-top, but beautifully written and the whole thing very faithful to the seed sentence. And yet you manage to pull an intriguing story out of it as well, with a good solid hook at the end. I shall file this away in my list of stories that I must sequel at some hazy point in the future when I find myself with infinite time.
