Well done, this is a really nice sequel… Just a few very small suggestions – ‘massive sound wall’ might sound better as wall of sound, it flows better. Also, capitalisation after ellipses? Personal choice I suppose, but nonetheless :) Very good, a cracking read!

Not bad, sir! Not bad at all. I still like to think of my story as a standalone ficlet, but that’s just because I don’t like knowing what happens after the climax.

Also, I can’t help mentally tacking on “The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed,” to the end.

MH, I agree. Looking back, wall of sound flows better, thanks.

Thanks for the words of encouragement, Silven! Though I lack your amazing story titles… they summarize the story while still being mysterious, truly amazing.

Amazing piece.
I love how death isnt so much a thing but more of a person.

this did have a very different style (not to mention you made death more incorporeal) than the prequel, but is good none the less.
