I'm as impressed as everyone else is. Of course, i'm fundamentally disappointed that Carolyn lives through the thing, but (1) that's a tribute to your skill in writing her from Sarah's perspective, and (2) her type usually does. It just usually doesn't constitute a twisting and merciful psychological study when it happens. Good show!

I think most people have had "Carolyn" for a boss at one time or another and can relate. I liked the tie-ins a great deal.

This was really good. I was really wondering how it would end after the first part. I think I'm glad I didn't read it till tonight since this one was up now too and I didn't have to wait to read it. :)

Very very good - the ending was unexpected. I truly enjoyed this - the backing off of the boss -
the smell of peanuts - and the final mercy. Great work. You have so much talent.

The rat has finally escaped from the trap.
Wonderful work here Horse.

I love this description : It was the smell of slowly decaying flesh, she had thought; not the rich, ripe, smell of the already dead, but the more ominous and repugnant smell of one alive and rotting from within

*Shiver*

Really a great read. I'm with Lorace. Encore.

Is masterful!

What a convoluted mind Sarah has . . .your tie-ins with the past were notably skillful.

Would you believe that Carolyn once was my boss?

Bravo and encore!
