And I *did* see what you did with the language changes. I agree this might be one of your most impactful horror posts. That said, I've really enjoyed some of the others, too. It might be one of those tools you keep in the toolbox and pull out for the "right" stories.
Plan to. I started this little kick in Still Water. Danny observes violence and then reacts. Time slows down for him, like watching a trainwreck before he moves into action. I really like the device, it feels real and still uses the observational tone I like to use. It’s like he just kins of slips and lingers for a minute before something snaps him back into reality.
Thanks... I was kind of going for a Wishmaster (remember that series of movies?) take on a djinn but more leaning towards real folklore in its appearance. I don't tend to write gore for gore's sake but I felt like this story concept *needed* something crazy.
Definitely not too many f-bombs. Just saying...

Love that! It makes him stand out and memorable.
Quite the fascinating twist behind the bloody carnage! Well done!
