Nathan--

Again and again you thrill me to the core. Not just anyone can pull off a Halloween story that is both scary and stimulating. You've done it again: aroused my libido.

I just want to thank you for using your time and talent to creat stories for the rest of us to get off on. It's always a thrill when I see your name in the author column. So keep up the good work. You are appreciated.

Thanks for the compliment. This story just sorta "came" to me...the idea of it all like a flash in the night. I could see it...visualize it. It all started with an email, and a picture, and the picture gave me the creeps and then once I had the feeling the story just happened.

Ah, what was the picture you ask? Well, remember, it was Halloween night, and I got this photo in the mail from my brother and it depicts what they claim is a real ghost sitting by a window, whispering in a very low murmur. Yeah..I know...I'm as sceptical as the rest of you, but I did look, and at first I didnt see anything, much less hear anything. But, if you enlarge the image to full screen and study it for a while it just stands out and once you see it then its really obvious. Concentrate around the window and you will see it. I pushed up the volume and heard the damn thing, and thats when it all just gave me the chills and so I decided to start writing then and there.

Ok..OK...yeah...the picture that started the story. Its loaded here, if anyone is interested:

Again, thanks for the note. I enjoyed this one, the story and all of it, and I hope others will too even though Halloween has past.

Nathan, the gangs, balls, dinner story was intense, real and powerfuil. How did you do that, using the food to build the mood, bujild the eroticism, make a guyh stop caring like the captured leader, and just let it happen. Wow. Wow. Wow.

Well, another use for the reviews. Somehow I missed the Halloween story until I saw the start of this thread, so I went back and read it this morning. Another GREAT short story by Nathan. Man, I don't know how you keep coming up with these ideas, Nathan!
