Thank you for the kind words. I’m still in shock that I won. I’m so pleased to see some love on it because it was a prequel origin story! The ending was intentionally up for interpretation but the mold needed to get to that Apartment for the original story to take place. I was just expanding lore! 😂

Just finished reading it! You did an amazing job spinning tension and unfolding events simultaneously—I loved it! I also found the ending oddly hopeful and refreshing where I might have expected horror.

You are a master storyteller. Thank you for sharing your work with us, always. What an absolute killer of a story. You deserve every award.

Thank you! I’m still floating!
