Wow,
Nice, almost sedate little story - nice ambiance piece - and then WHAM!
Did anyone expect the twist at the end of this chapter?
I'll be more watchful in the future, and will resist the urge to read the last paragraph first. . .
I'm guessing the Cognivore (CogKaroff?) got tired of being subtle?
Write on, write on!
Author's response
Does that mean I can have my Beta reader back? These past two chapters have been hard to write and revise solo.
