Congrats @wrestlingdesires! Your story was spooky and fun.

Good luck, @marriot5464. Be sure to read the dialogue article. It will help you to learn the mechanics of dialogue, which is a very important element of good fiction. Have fun!

Great sci-fi story, @seki1. The therapist actually gains access to the patient's past experiences and memories. Fascinating. Too bad he's so affected by the experience that now he needs therapy, instead
