TERRIFYING! 

And humbling.

Sitting in 3rd place in the Horror Contest…

When a very talented and accomplished author JUMP SCARES in at the top of the list.

With 109 READERS!

Under the bed I go.

But we all know the monster will find you there.

Shivering in fear awaiting my doom…I unexpectedly feel humbled…and appreciative.

The pressure is off. The contest is lost. I accept my fate.

And am sorry for any dick moves made in my over-zealous attempts to gain more followers.

The monster was me.

Thank you all so much for your support and for that lesson.

Intended or not, Dr. Karl appreciates the results.

DOF Internal Memo, Classified (DESTROY IMMEDIATELY AFTER READING)

Margie--

The Wolf in the Woods broke into the top ten late last night in the Inkshares Horror Contest. Ten more pre-orders will put them in seventh place. The book’s Inkshares page has uploaded another story, "Because It’s Beautiful," presumably to incentivize this. It seems to be about the Vienna Plum incident at the art museum, the one with the "cursed" sculpture.

Obviously, this would interfere with DOF operations. Recommend filing and investigation, Class G urgency. Also, consider assigning a Fagent.

We may have to cut your vacation short.
