Bravo, Fran, I loved it! I love the imagery of the hairy hand in the darkness and the edge of your seat pacing!

Thanks Nancy, it’s actually based on a true story which makes it even creepier.

Thank you so much. It doesn’t feel effortless. I wrangled with this story all week!

You paint such detailed, luscious scenes with your words. I could picture not just the train carriage, but the atmosphere perfectly. I particularly liked "just a few tendrils of moonlight filtering through the window and forming luminescent puddles on the floor" - this was glorious. And living near the outer Birmingham countryside myself, I can appreciate the muddy fields!

This was a gloriously chilling, poignant story that truly put me in the characters' shoes.
