Ha ha ha! "Story within a story. A dream? The oldest trick in the book. Lunatic ravings. Space aliens! Had he really sunk to this level? Contrived twists. Parlor tricks." THEN, finally, the real deal! A brilliant idea here, Scott. From tired tropes, you pulled out something ENTIRELY fresh and new.
For someone who doesn't normally write horror, you've produced an impressive - and very amusing - ghost story... plus a good explanation for why one generally finds casks of port wine in the basement. Thank you, that was a nice morning chuckle.
He hit the hard granite floor tiles with a thud, like a reckless middleweight. Great line. Man, this one wouldn't stop. Where's it going next? Oh, there. No, there. Oh, over there. Hehe. Wild stuff. Great as always, Scott.
Nice job - surely the product of a twisted mind. Is this because the Yankees lost the playoff series, or was it something you ate. Just kidding - I loved it.
Unlike Roderick, I thoroughly appreciated the myriad plot devices crammed into this imaginative and entertaining yarn!
Thank you!!
Otto thinks he's being attacked by a ghost, and wishes he could film it, such an artist!
In his dreams lol

Thank you Sharron!
Horrific. And very entertaining. Thanks, Scott. You should consider doubling in this genre
At first, I thought there was a ghost in the attic crying over spilt port... but your ending works too :) !
Strong spirits indeed!
These are great. Made me smile..
Thanks Phillip😊

Thx, ha yes good point, wine in the attic might have been the least plausible twist of all. 😊
But a funny one...
So the film director conjures a ghost- and they are both products of a writer's imagination. That figures...
Exactly!
Loved this twisty, creepy ride - great work.
Thank you!
Love the way you piled on and on then came back full circle. Kept me off balance and made me stop guessing and I just sat back and enjoyed the ride.
Thank you Jack!

Thanks for this Parker and for reading, it means a lot.
A story within a movie within a novel within a short story. Whew! No wonder I need a nap. Simply brilliant, Scott.
Thank you K.C. And as always thank you for reading. This one might call for an Irish coffee lol.
Well, that story had everything. Loved it.
Thank you sir!
Hahaha! Very clever. I like it!
Thanks Carlotta!!

Thx! Ha yes I needed a character deader than the Yankee bats 😊
This was a great read! Thank you. It was what I needed today
Thanks for this Mica, and thanks for reading!!
