Nice remark H0LD0Nthere !H0LD0Nthere wrote: I also loved that the ghost writer was literally a GHOST writer.
I think that the ghost of the murdered woman has the role of the "Erinyes" from greek mythology. The Erinyes were three goddesses who avenged crimes against the natural order.

The theme of an avenging spirit is so cool that I'm surprised this is the only story where it appears. But it is a bit hoary, so maybe the other authors felt that it has been done already. But I'm so glad this story used it.

I agree with you that it is surprising that only one of ten stories about vengeance and self destruction used it.

Fantastic job on your short story!! I loved the subtle ironies that Scott mentioned as well, and in no way thought the murder was a stretch. These kinds of things happen more than we would like to know, unfortunately. The story deletion scene was my favorite I think; space by space, character by character!!!! I could practically feel his dread. Ha ha, take that you villainous man-boy!

I love the last line of your review; "Ha ha, take that you villainous man-boy!"
I love it!
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
