Bravo, Susan! The story kept me in suspense. As many have already said, I Loved the blurred line between reality and the dream world.

Thanks. I enjoyed this. The vivid descriptions… making me desperate to go out side and hold stones, examine them, smell them. I could totally see the blue-green under the granite too!

Wow! A bit of the Twilight Zone vibe here with the blurred reality. Loved it! Loved how she embraced her experience.

This was haunting and beautiful Susan. I loved the blurred line between dream and waking, and the idea of fungi communicating through art was both eerie and poetic. That final line gave me chills!
