I might be a bit worried about you if you did!

I left her hanging mainly because that’s how it feels in the midst of one – it feels like it will never end. I didn’t continue her story for that very reason.

From my perspective, “he” is a hallucination, but it really is left to reader interpretation. I wrote it to make him seem real because he is to her as she struggles.

very powerful… I read the explanation before the story (probably should have done it the other way around but I’m just catching up on blogs!). I think it helps, I would have understood the migraine, I think (I have suffered from them on and off for years but they are not as severe as the ones you describe). An overwhelming impression of pain… and helplessness. Quite bleak, I suppose… I would like to know what happens to her – is she still suffering? Is ‘he’ just a hallucination, a figment of her imagination or based on reality (hers, I mean?)

Sounds like one heck of a migraine! I think it’s interesting to explore the darker side of our writing. I have done the same on very few occasions and I’m still not sure where it all comes from. Great job on this one, C. B. I’ll have to check out the poll to see if more is revealed…

Thanks. It was cathartic to write in some ways, but also a little scary to explore something so far out of my realm.

This is great! You can still hear your voice – clearly – but the darkness creates something new. Powerful.

Thanks so much for reading. I’m glad you liked the mystery. No matter the genre, I love to write with a degree ambiguity.

Wow! This is incredibly written! And I love the mystery that enshrouds the exact nature of what is happening. : )
