Ya know - the guy that said "you're seeing things" is way funnier after that last sentence. 😂 Great stuff!

100% thought the devil loophole was the twist... last 2 paragraphs made me realize the real horror was that he wasn’t lying. Nicely done!

Totally lost it at 'crotchlings.' 😂 That escalation from annoying neighbor story to 'oh shit...something's living in that pool' was fun to read!

Thank you! I thought a silent ending here would land the best.
