Scary

Once again, Barbara, you've found something that really connects emotionally with your story and its characters. The wild donkeys, up until now, have been a sort of wry running joke. What you've come up with could grow into a full-blown flashback that illuminates one of Jack's personal connundrums. For me, it isn't the socialogic commentary that carries the day, but the plain terror and hysteria inherent in the recollection. That's where the real energy is. You mentioned that Jenny's imagination is a scary place. As I see it, you're mining some pretty scary stuff here. Good for you! That's where the real stuff is.
