Beautiful if dark. I thank you.

Wow.

I have never seen Kim so worked up or scared over a villain before. Carrion has got to be one of the nastiest buggers out there. The mere fact that he's a "guest" of Colorado State does NOTHING to resolve Kim's fears. (Is he a guest of ADX Florence?) Although he never physically raped him, his psychological rape of her is that she can't ever feel safe (even years later,) in her own home. If you are making him this powerful, long time foes like Dementor and Duff are "Z list" villains. Even if it was only a bad dream. (I'm torn as to whether or not to ask you to bring him back again.)

Anyway, it's a good story and I'm looking forward to read more.

Wow. Phenomenal work Commander. Truly phenomenal. I gotta say, you had me scared out of my wits with this fic. I was scared for him. I know for a fact that pregnant women have nightmares, bad nightmares but it usually involves something happening to their husbands so you had me surprised when you put Carrion in there. We hadn't heard from him since that time Ron went to take care of him for good and considering he fact that was the last time Kim had any nightmares about him, Carrion's appearance in this fic came as a shock. I hope you can continue this fic on and have Kim reluctantly tell Ron about what happened that night and can surely comfort her about this.

Again, phenomenal work Nelson...oops! I mean...Commander.

Well written. The nightmare about carrion was indeed scary and it didn't help that it was dark and rainy. This line was most profound.

"All of her grumpiness was gone, replaced with an overwhelming feeling of safety and love."

Good job.

make more chapters

You and dreams! At least there were Cheesidillas. ;D

good tale!

THANKS!

hello,

hey i like your stories and all but who's HIM in a night of darkness?

What worries me is that you've established that Kim and Ron's dreams have a tendency to include elements of truth in them. Is this a foreshadowing of things yet to come, or did Kim just have a bad night?

Good story,Good forward to your next KP .

You just love the dreams, don't you? A chance to really cut loose and taunt us all, huh? I did enjoy this though, despite that! lol

An unsettling reminder that evil done to us in an earlier time can come back to haunt us, either in our dreams or worse, in reality. I liked the way Kim faced this sitch.

make a chapter about kim getting really scared again that night so ron helps her relax but she has to have help breathing

Well, duh, my friend. Your art already spoiled what Kim would be experiencing after she and Ron came home. Unless you were giving a forewarning with that dream she had, and knowing you and 'dream-foreshadowing', it maybe a possibility you are 'hinting' of what might come for Kim and Ron after this story. ;)

Does she still sleep, it may be asked? Yes, some nights she does, in snatches, bows her poor head against the wall and snatches a little sleep. Still speak? Yes, some nights she does, when she fancies none can hear. Tells how it was. Tries to tell how it was. It all. It all. – Samuel Beckett, “Footfalls”

I happened upon this story by accident. (I obviously need to place your author id on my alert list and not just your individual stories.) Very well done. I like it when a dream sequence isn’t obvious to either the reader or the character. I was fully prepared for Amethyst to come out of that bedroom and save her Aunt Kimmie.

All the details of Kim’s married life were set up nicely in rich detail—detail that did not abate once we were in dreamtime, so it made the dream all the more effective. Kim checking the candles after she woke up was a very good touch. The increasing sense of dread was well-handled too since her discoveries that the phone didn’t work, the backups weren’t working, etc were interspersed with details about her life and the commonplace duties of calming and caring for Amethyst.

“Good” isn’t the word I would normally choose to describe Carrion’s lingering effect on Kim’s life, but it is believable and realistic.

I really liked how anger and not fear was her initial reaction. “Get out of my house,” indeed.

That old anger for him is starting to build again. So I will bookend this review with a quote intended for the feathered b1tch in cell block C4.

I don’t recall how many times I struck him with the spade only that I didn’t stop until I was tired. – Flann O’Brien, “The Third Policeman”
