Re: JCO:An Encounter with the Blind

Hi Cyrano and Ted,

 

I read "Encounter with the Blind" before the cascade ended our conversation. I can see the connection to "Where Are You Going..." and will read it again with that in mind. I'm also going to reread "Images" keeping that "time technique" you mentioned in mind.

P.S.

Bloodsmoor should be here this weekend. I'll move forward with that in preparation for discussion if such incurs.

Oh, I did read that a few months ago.  I remember it pretty well now.  It
struck me as the companion piece to the later short story "Where Are You Going
Where Have You Been?"  Only the hapless victim carried away by a killer at the
end of the story is an elderly male instead of a girl.  But I will reread it
anyway.
