Your ETA is fascinating. I'm quite intrigued to hear that you don't know and you yourself are contemplating what Buffy's state of mind is following this. That's really interesting. Hmmm.

Well, I figured it would work better to allow for it to be anyone the reader chose if I didn't choose myself, because if I had someone in mind, I have a feeling that would have been more hinted at in the story, and that's not leaving them the same choice. Or something. I know I had a reason at the time. ;)
And, this is only the first day so I can't tell if this is going to be the regular pattern, but my guests have gone to bed much earlier than I tend to, so that gives me an hour or two before sleep to get on here each day! Hopefully. :)

I really like this story. I think you set the tone very well, with your entrance into the uncertainty of the witch doctor's domain continuing into the uncertain-to-frightening dreamworld, and the connection between Buffy and Faith was masterfully handled. Very nicely done, dear.
