This story completely captivated me. I loved the way you delved into the character’s mind, portraying their tension and dilemmas so vividly. It made me reflect on the power of emotions and the decisions that shape us. Thank you for sharing it!

Brenda, this piece absolutely gripped me from the very first line. 🙏🏼The way you built the tension — weaving memory, guilt, fear, and relief — was breathtaking. It’s chilling, yet beautifully written, and it really shows another powerful side of your voice. I would definitely love to read more of your psychological fiction ..you carry the weight of thriller writing with such depth and atmosphere.✨

I like it…the over all story was too good ….perverts like him should be caught and punished like this!

Brenda: this story caught me up in so much detail relating to past events in my life.

Your writing took me back to similar incidents in my young working life as a student and as a qualified medical professional working at Groote Schuur Hospital

I just watched a British series called Fear which has a chap terrorising his neighbours and telling lies about them to the police.

I recently found my diaries from my junior high through college years. As I read through them, I find myself talking to that girl I used to be. Sometimes laughing, sometimes crying.
