I Had Forgotten... Now It's Back.
Author here! After the reception you guys had to my Crater Lake story a day ago, I'm hoping you'll like this series just as much! It's the first part of a four parter, one that is a slow burn in the vein of Alfred Hitchcock, with a mixture of horror, suspense, and thriller. It's one of my favorite stories I've written so far. And if you have a keen eye to the ending lines of this first part, you'll get the first inklings of where this is going! Enjoy! ~ J.L. Goodwin
Author here! It's been a hot minute since MrCreepyPastanarrated one of my stories, and especially since the popular Abandoned Ship story of mine, but here you guys are! It is one of my older ones, as I'm currently working on a new, rather ambitious project I'm wanting to turn into a manuscript, but I hope you enjoy it anyways! ~ J.L. Goodwin
