oh jesus christ this is terrifying. and brilliant. but mostly crazypants scary
i love the way that neither we or sam know what's real or not, but that we know just a little more than sam, just enough to be able to figure out what's actually going on. there's no resolution really, and wow, that just makes it all that much scarier.
Thank you... for freaking out? :) I have a penchant for scary stuff, haha.
I am guilty of demanding resolution in what I read, so I felt a bit hypocritical for not writing an actual conclusion, but I'm glad you think it works!
I love the repetitive narration. It adds to the creepiness and trapped feeling of Sam's condition. You leave us hanging, not knowing what's real - it could all be in Sam's head during detox, it could be something else - a never-ending nightmare. And now ... I'm tired.

Thank you, too; I feared repetition would mess up reading comprehension, but I'm very happy it works for you.
Hehe. :)
