"Wow, that was wicked. Nice job! I really like the style too, reminded me of Robert Louise Steveson. " -- km.
"Erg! i want to read this really bad but i cant stand reading off the monitor... get it published and i'll buy it off you." -- ryan severud.
"Once again, you astonish me. These were great stories indeed. " -- Skyler.
"Hey, Skyler! Thanks again for your comments. They were greatly appreciated. I tend to think that out of all of the stories "The Centipedes" is the weakest. Even though horror doesn't necessarily have to be scary, there is only one section of that story where the reader might get frightened, at least I think so. Thanks again! I'm glad you think so highly of me. Take care. " -- Michael Harris, Detroit, MI.
