I’ve never written a sequel to my own story before, and I’ve always felt that people who do are kind of cheating, but I thought it would be interesting to provide two different places to branch off from desperate passage, and I had this idea in my head about who the tall pale man was and I wanted to see how it turned out.

I didn’t think of Boah as the kind of guy who would take a bribe like this when I started, but it’s who he wanted to be, and it took the story in a different direction than I intended when I began. I’m interested to see what happens on the passage, should other writers want to explore that.

You always were good at leaving excellent jumping off points for us :)

Intriguing last lines, there. Like it much, I do.

Glad to see ya here, Wil! I like this story so much I sequeled it!

Great pace and a great setup. I got a little confused tracking the man, but I haven’t slept.

Well done. :)

Hawesome, as usual!

this just screams Lovecraft to me – love it

I like the style to this very much. Makes me think of Elizabethen England

Love the ominous ending there. Looks exciting. I like how all these pieces are slipping into place to make for some disasters later.

Very nice follow-up. And I like the characterization of both Boah and the man.

And if you don’t like people sequeling their own stories, then you must’ve really not liked me back at Ficlets. [rolls eyes and whistles innocently]

Also I dislike people who put actions in brackets, so I’m being a little hypocritical, but I figured it was necessary to dispel any animosity. [puts another action in more brackets for effect]

Certainly leaves itself open for a world of possibilities (as I have taken advantage of).

“No. Name your price.”

Totally worth the two extra characters. Great plot development and characterization.

wow. i like this story alot. it leaves a great sense of intrigue, and is a great place for someone else to take up from
though i dont think im at that level just yet, i may take you up on a sequel in the future ;)
