Miles, This is phenomenal horror writing.

The atmosphere feels humid, electrical, exhausted in the most human way possible. Joe immediately felt real to me because the story understood the quiet cynicism of somebody who has spent years inside failing systems and broken buildings. That grounding made every supernatural detail land harder.

And that final image of him driving anyway after seeing the sugar in the cup holder? Perfect ending. Truly outstanding work.

Thank you. I wanted Joe to feel like somebody who had been worn down by systems long before anything supernatural showed up.

What a ride. A very natural writing style that made this bad boy flow easily.
