Profound. This is a beautiful surprise and written beautifully. Your professional prowess and know-how shines. I can't imagine even trying to write something like this. It's powerful and succinct and magnificent. Thank you from my heart for this, for continuing. I love The Pretender and my heart would break if there were no more stories. Keep keeping it alive. I love it. I love YOU! You're amazing. Take care of you, too.

God. Your writing. The word selection. It's so lyrical and so haunting and you've got me out here sighing and thinking "oh, god." You gave us the dream, Picnic With Mom, aspect so we'd know it was a dream, but it was also so much a death dream, too. You show us that she and her mother were running from all of the things that were being done to save her by Jarod, the first responders, and the doctors.

There's no mention of what Lyle did to her. We can see that her mind is sparing her that part. She runs from the sound of Jarod slamming Lyle's head into the floor and then Jarod breathing into her mouth and chest compressions, and begging her to open her eyes. My heart right now Mirage. You're the best.

This does seem to need a warning you're right and  you're right that there are no approrpriate ones, none that fit.

I look forward to reading the entirety of this series you haven't named. I think the way you've posted this is genius. Giving us parts and not even in the correct order. We get a glimpse first with Wild Horses, which isn't the first or second part of the series. I love it. What a stroke of genius! How did you come up with that idea? Tell me please how you thought up this entire series too. I love it. I just want to know how to make my brain work like your brain. I love your brain.

Thank you for continuing The Pretender and keeping it alive.

Oooh so much suspense and intrigue. You go to places I've never known and can't imagine on my own. It's always so fresh. You know how to keep me entertained and I thank you so much for each gift you give us. I'm inspired as always.

I'm terrified of spiders but I love the way you write about them. so much I didn't know.  You have an amazing style and supreme command of the language and characters. I love it and want more !

So exciting! I can't wait for the rest!

Thank you so much 🙏😊🙏🙏🙏😁

Amazingly written as always.

I'm glad you're balancing caretaking with this work, and are finding a place to put the struggles you're facing. I worry when you've been away for too long.

I hope you're well.  I hope you're significant person is well, too. You haven't really updated anyone on your personal life. If it's too personal or painful I understand. Just know we are here. I'm here always. I've emailed you my phone number. Call anytime please.

I hope to read more from you as soon as you're able to give it to us. You take care of you. That's more important than anything. I'll be here when you post more.

Magnificent, Mirage! You've exceeded and satisfied my expectations and excitement.

The plotting is outstanding and the word usage and placement is perfect. Each detail rich and so intricate but balanced perfectly so as not to weigh the story down.

I can't get enough of your writing. Powerful. Always so powerful.

More please?

So stoked to see you back with amazing work and you keep my eyes glued!!  Please write faster.

Now that's what I'm talking about! Wow, girl, you rule. I'm so stoked to read the entire series you've written here. I love Asphyxia and Wild Horses and this. Incursion. So totally accurate. You are the best!

Mate, this is amazing. Thank you for writing these fantastic stories and sharing them with us. Much love and big respect!

Exquisite, Mirage. You really know the characters, and you're just one of those authors who pull me right into the story and won't let go. You keep the pages turning and always leave me wanting more. This is a frightening scenario and plausible. I think Dr. Williamson is one of those unlikable doctors, and I can't blame for Jarod and Broots for disliking him.

There is no confusion. Your notes are always so funny. I understand exactly what you're writing. Your writing is clear and succinct. We all interpret it differently. I hope you never second guess yourself. Please continue. You're quite skillful and talented. You're a hell of an author and storyteller. It's all perfection. Pretender Perfect.

Oh my god this makes perfect sense Mirage! Silk = silk. Suture=spider silk. Hammock=cobweb. I get it and I love it and omg this is so dark but there is no violence, no sex, no language, no character death. It's PG13 or just P for everyone but it's still so... dark. It's a ngihtmare. It's reality. It's so plausible. It's so real!

OMG Can I just say again how appreciative I am that you write the series, the original television series and that you breathe life into it and give it more oomph. It's the same as I remember only... better because it's still going. You picked up the torch and you're carrying it and you're lighting up my world.

I love this series so much. I love the characters. I want them to live forever.

It is still my all time favorite tv show and I was missing it and mourning it so hard until you came along. It's like it's still here. Please never stop writing. Ever. OMG. I need this in my life so much. Thank you thank you thank you. I'm eternally grateful.

Bravo! This is eloquent and succinct. What you've accomplished here is phenomenal because you not only show us the anguish of Parker's post trauma mind trying to figure out what is happening to her you also inform the reader in detail what is happening to her. We see her confusion and we learn that Jarod was doing CPR, breathing for her, and begging her to wake up. We also see that the hospital employees are perplexed too. This was beautifully illustrated Mirage. Even if I hadn't read Asphyxia I'd understand what is happening and make inferences but I love Asphyxia too and this is the perfect follow up. I want more! Please!
