Ahhh i just love this! Under estimating the uncle, him being all the monster he was set up to be, and more, there is a real skill in how you never actually say what he did to Terry, and you don't have to. And damn, how they underestimated him! Not as easy a target as they thought, I like how you set it up, that this was a trap the uncle laid, and they walked into blind.
The actual ending is really well done. It's a hard thing to convey in fiction, not something I have got to grips with yet, although I have tried and missed it a couple of times, so I am hoping you will bear with me
cos this was a fantastic roller coaster, and I really enjoyed just being a part of it, and i want to understand how you achieved it, that dialogue is some real flawless internal external mixed representation that shows someone struggling with voices so very well. In that last bit, does she take over, and hit him with the frying pan, and kill one of the personalities, then leave? That's what I felt like, but then I am not sure if I am projecting a bit and maybe missing something, and please forgive me if i am cos my head is like a swamp this week and the end result here is so wonderful, i want to make sure I haven't missed anything trying to take notes for myself. <3
The box of teeth, damnnnnnnn, I really love that... I mean who's most precious possession isn't their box of assorted people teeth right? haha
