Re: JCO:An Encounter with the Blind

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.

child!)
