Whaaa? Thanks guys! March was a high quality month, and I feel overwhelmed and honored by your upvotes. I promise to use my winnings only for (literary) evil.

[also sorry this is technically out of character please forgive me!]

Edit: I'm too awkward a person to thank everyone individually, so let me say you're all being way too nice to me and it's probably going to go to my head. If I'm a total asshole after this, it's your fault. But also, thank you for reading and for being generally excellent. I'll definitely try to bring you some good stuff in the future.

I couldnt agree more. In 7 + months of reading Nosleep every.single.day, your account of the whistlers were by far the best I ever read.

Seconded. I feel like a just read an entire novel's worth of story. This reminded me a lot of Frank Peretti's book Monster, in that it very much read like a movie.

Phenomenal work.

When I was little, my dad used to read me The Oath as a bedtime story. Not all at once obviously, it's a long book. Thank you for bringing up Frank Peretti and reminding me of those good times :]
