    Now the real twist would be if this was all in his head! The demon just made him THINK he could see in the dark, write with his fingers and use ink blood. In the morning someone will find a dead body and a blood smeared walls like someone had been trying to write with thier fingers.

    His last line… I think the demon is letting him know that nothing he wrote will remain.

      actually seeping into the plaster means he’ll never get it back, like ink drying on paper

    On the first panel, you can see his writing trail off onto the wooden part of the wall, even directly behind him. In the very next panel, the writing is gone. Is this intentional?

      This whole story arch isn’t meant to be a “perfect” comic. It’s just something to tide us over while a buffer is rebuilt.

    Perhaps. Considering that all that was important to him was breathing life into his work, and that a good writer pours his soul into his writing, that what the demon has come to collect is not a soul in the traditional sense but something much more tangible…

      … leaving him neither soul nor story, just cursed life. By extension, possibly taking the very thing that drove him to write too. Nice.

    Yes! nothing like having a good book to read while watching souls roast over an open fire.

    That, or he hasn’t really collected a soul in ages and just wants someone to talk to.

    This is easily on a par with NTO, you have an impressive creative range. I’d gladly pay for a hard copy of this along with the NTO chapters I got from IndyPlanet.

      Ha. Thank you kindly. I really am surprised at how well this thing’s been received, all things considered; I hadn’t really thought one way or the other about selling it as a standalone physical volume (although I’ll probably include it in the next collection like Snake was included in Maybe Next Time).

      No harm in putting together a physical copy to sell via a PoD outlet like IndyPlanet. When I get squared away I just might do that.

    actually, i bet the character in his story will come alive because he litterally gave his life to bring her into being

      And then the demon will have no soul to collect! It’s with Genevieve!

    Sacré couillon, indeed.

    I can’t wait to see the epilogue!

    Actually, there’s a fourth third. You’re just not looking hard enough.
