Oh dear... I'm really, really not liking where I think this is going. I feel like this is about to veer away from what I call 'light' angst into something much more dark and cruel, a place I don't like going to very often and somewhere I try to avoid.

I think you did such a great job in early chapters helping the reader to visualise the horrors inflicted upon Spike, it's almost too scary to feel that you're about to take us back there through the actions of a Scoobie. I'm torn... should I read the next chapter(s) or should I skip a few? I might wait and see what the next chapter reviewers are saying... scardy cat that I am.

Great writing... got me spooked *shivvers*

Author's Response: don't worry...its bad but not as bad as you're thinking really...and this next chapter is actually quite important...you might not want to actually skip :)
