This was such a compelling story, @iskawrites. You built the suspense very nicely, and your main character was so intriguing. If only it didn't end as just a dream! We actually advise writers against ending stories this way, and even have an article about it. Check out Don't Use the "It Was Just a Dream" Escape Hatch.

I had a feeling I did something wrong with this story but I couldn't lay my fingers on it. I apologize. And I take the correction. Thank you Inkwell.
