This story was incredible and impressive. It kept me on my toes the entire way, I could FEEL the tension. So underrated. It's definitely my favorite thus far. I would read more of this if you continued it.

Absolutely captivating, from beginning to end. I could not get enough. Fascinating concept and brilliantly written. This story was a Substack Zone standout for me. Nicely done, Jason.

This. This was something else entirely. From the moment I began reading, you had my full attention and the world you weaved demanded I linger over sentences and paragraphs . No zipping through. There is so much beauty in the eery and it is not often so wonderfully captured. I’m looking forward to giving it another read

Hearing your name across the wire

means trying not to rise the ire

of the beings on the other side.

Listening to the static in the air

hearing the warnings beware

adjust the squelch and pitch so wide.

I was sucked in from the flea market, the raspy voice with the reptile shrug. Now, at the end, I’m longing to hear more about the spectral and vibrant shapes. I want to traverse that world with Sophie to see how her form changes as she absorbs that new world.

Dang. I'm a sucker for this premise and it totally captivated me. Love how it just kept escalating and went for the epic ending. A little jealous of Sophie tbh.
