    So far i’ll have to give this a thumbs up. I’ve listened to the first three chapters and it’s a great ride. Looking forward to more. Keep up the great work.

    I think you have a good voice, Paul, and the narration is pretty good. Maybe a few minor glitches but hardly worth mentioning.
    And the story, well, the story is pretty good too.
    But for me the subject really screams to be a much bigger and more intricately plotted story. You have the chops. I’d like to see you do that.

    Rosanna:
    Thanks for the comments. I have been told that the story goes to fast and that there are some more possibilities here. I played with the idea a bit, but was afraid I’d trash it in trying to make it longer. It’s definitely something I’m going to explore in the future.

    I am working on longer works now. This is my first “long” work in over a decade, so I wanted to start with something pretty tight. Anyway, thanks for listening and feel free to check out my other Fiends tales at http://shadowpublications.com

    Cheers.

    If you’re looking for something sick and twisted that will give you the *shivers*, you are definitely in the right place. I might have like to enjoy the story a little longer, that’s like trying to spend too much time at the buffet just because the food is so good. Too much is consumed to remember the experience positively. “Tatoo”, positive? Strange thought. As I have three tattoos of my own design, I’m still a little *shiver-y* from just finishing listening to the story. The story sucks you in, bringing you along in what you know is going to be twisted dark, but can’t help but diving in headfirst and then……WHAM!!! You get smacked up-side the head with the ending.
