Wow. That's a crazy story. Beautifully written (though the second person approach put me off a bit at first) yet terrifying.

I'm so sorry you had to go through that, but glad it worked out in the end.

Hopefully you'll never hear from Alfred again.

Thank you for reading, Alex. I am a little bit frightened that he may find this post somehow, but the relief of sharing our story makes that risk somehow worthwhile. Glad you enjoyed!

Oh my dear lord! I haven’t read anything as shocking as this in a little while, I’m on the edge right now. The genius of your narrative prowess made me almost fall off of my chair. How did you manage to be compassionate in such dire circumstances? I manage to lose mine in the slightest of rejections or insults. You and your partner have practiced empathy to a fault. I respectfully bow down to your spirits.

I am thrilled that you are writing again! Thank you for sharing this experience with us

My God, what a horrible set of events, for everyone. I’m glad you all got out unscathed. And honestly, I’m not sure if I could’ve been so empathetic, such grace

Also, beautiful to see your writing again. I haven’t bitten nails since I was ten, but was close to doing so with the suspense you built.
