A nightmare I had one night a few years ago.

Getting an audience for it since it was a very short fully completed story more of a flash fiction. I kept entering it in contests to try to help it along with recognition. Never thought it would though. Glad I was wrong about that. It did that and more.

Everything from the compelling characters, to the complex, unpredictable storyline, pace and plot.

I'd rather this question be posed to my readers because it's their own varied experiences they're having when they're reading it. Not mine. But if we're going by comments, reviews or the ten awards Beneath the Pink Iron Veil has won so far then I'd say the overall response has been quite positive. It has shocked and amazed me of how well this little story of mine has done. And it continues to do so. I never thought it would get as many accolades as it has. It's just staggering. And to think it's all from a nightmare I had. Wow, even a nightmare can have its rewards. There's wisdom in everything.

It is a fully completed standalone short story.

I leave that up to my readers.

Just keep going. Write your own original stories. And take your time, pace yourself.

With the exception of coming from a nightmare, no. But if you entertain Sigmund Freud's theory on the psyche in regards to the id, ego and superego well, you might have something there.

It's weird, unique and something different particularly regarding the main character's unusual type of fetish.

I always have a wealth of those. When I'm ready and finished with them. I'll share them with the world.
