Intriguing look at Stivin's personality, and his pathology (or is it a "gift"? guess I should say ... "curse"!) His reflections kind of remind me of Joseph Duncan's Fifth Nail blog ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Edward_Duncan ) That guy is just plain creepy! Oh, and I hope that weasle Gaither just jumps off the cliff and gets it over with. (Just kidding! Don't know why I said that!) Good entry, Mark.

Strange - makes me look like I'm repeating stuff that you & Simon just said - like I'm blonde or something!

I fixed, because I am allowed to fix typos -- but not plot holes. That would be cheating and a misrepresentation of this method of writing a story. I think.

(Am I right, babe?) Mark/Babe - Great entry! I'm especially impressed with this one, since you had nothing written when you walked into the computer roon at 9:00 last night. I like how you went deeper into the "soul stealing" aspect. A couple of typos, though - the first one in the sentence "Many of them felt close to him and respected that h never sounded condescending." I think you meant he, not h. Well, shoot, after looking back through it, I can't find the other one - anyone else catch it? Dave - I think he had tea with dinner and coffee after dinner. (Am I right, babe?)

Nit-picking. Nice to see more of Stivins's motives cropping up here at the end. A little more insight into the man and references back (forward?) to TWAK. “Many of them felt close to him and respected that h never sounded condescending.”

When he remembered servers looking at him strange for ordering tea without ice, it was a continuation of the preceding paragraph, not a depiction of what was happening right then. Of course, he probably had tea with his chicken fried steak, and then had the "after-dinner coffee," um, after dinner (which also would be after the tea). Dave - Small blunder on my part, I guess.
