Also if it's so hot why is Ray even wearing a shirt?<br />If Ray doesn't have AC and it's hot and humid, he'd definitely have one of those box fans running, maybe stuck in the open window or next to his bed. His bedroom sounds smothering. (I'd want to go out on the roof!)<br />I didn't understand why not having AC would make moving around the room more difficult. It's also a bit odd that he'd need to "adjust to his surroundings," since I'd assume he'd be used to navigating his own room in low light and remembering more or less where the toe-stubbing hazards were.<br />DavidAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09358711204100269079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4520528486728008071.post-16985660081804021752021-07-15T15:34:05.685-04:002021-07-15T15:34:05.685-04:00Very engrossing story.

I pictured kids riding bikes through a suburban housing development. Excellent use of nostalgia.Chris Lopeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15603182786879935663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4520528486728008071.post-61042562855751396922021-07-09T17:05:15.705-04:002021-07-09T17:05:15.705-04:00Thank you for reading it!

The idea that one could just flick onto a certain radio station and stumble across something weird and wonderful that shouldn't exist makes me feel the same way I felt as a child, where waltzing down the road and around the corner of my suburban estate might genuinely reveal a wardrobe to Narnia, or the den of a dragon. I even tried to make an idea somewhat similar to this into a Monster of the Week adventure once, but I couldn't make it work right. So, thank you very much!Cantushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09423694187264830935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4520528486728008071.post-79516791201592728882021-07-09T12:42:21.606-04:002021-07-09T12:42:21.606-04:00Yeah, that's the plan.
