I loved this! The push and pull between David’s scientific doubt and the TV show’s obvious scripting felt so real, and honestly, a lot of writers know that struggle. That twist with the present-day Angus Bright totally caught me off guard. It was creepy in the best way. It's proof that the best stories are usually hiding under all the made-up ones.
I do have fun with David’s stories. The more I discover as I study parapsychology, the more I feel convinced that beneath all the nonsense there are things that we still need to explain, and may one day teach us something useful. It is certainly a fascinating subject.
It is fascinating to hear that you study parapsychology. That explains why David feels so grounded as a character. It makes the skeptical side of the story feel much more authentic when it is backed by actual research.
I agree that the most compelling part of these stories is the small percentage that remains unexplained. It is that hidden layer that really keeps a reader engaged. I am looking forward to seeing where you take David and Janet next!

Thank you so much, that is very kind.

Thank you - great to read David and Janet again. Not sure why this did not appear in my feed yesterday. But a treat before doing some studying!
The algorithm has a mind of its own. I check emails because I can never rely on it showing me things I ask to be shown.
Thank you for your kind words. Happy studying.
An enthralling read, Nigel! A real “page-turner”.
Wow, thank you. I think you mean page scroller, we are after all on ‘devices’ here folks. :)
