sediment in the soul - 19.15
Chapter haunts the dripping streets, the spirit of a storm hanging thick and cold on the gutters and windowpanes. And here it is! Another chapter for you, O dear readers! Things continue to be extremely weird for poor Heather, but she must be close to the answer by now, close to the core, the secret, the meaning. We'll see! Hope you enjoy it! Next week is the last chapter of the arc, I think. And here's that link, as always:

VB = Vellitt Boe?
Ohohohohoho. Maybe! Could be. Then again, would VB give her real initials, considering what she just said to Heather about information security?
I kinda want to know what Big Heather looked like, but at the same time I appreciate that we don’t get an outright description.
Thank you! Yes, it's all part of the technique. Is Big Heather a literal thing, able to be described with words, or is she a dream-structure, beyond description? Perhaps other characters' responses to her are more telling than anything Heather could describe!
Not sure how to spoiler tag so I'll just say great chapter and hope she's better juggling with her tentacles, considering she has group goals, girlfriends, friends/family issues and now this all in the air concurrently lol
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it! I was a bit concerned with this extended dream sequence, but so many readers have enjoyed it so much that I'm glad I tried this experiment. Heather's got a lot to process here, indeed, but perhaps discovering how better to use her tentacles is a really important step in solving all those other problems. Perhaps this was exactly what she needed all along. We'll see!
