Whoa. A lot of cool things happening in this one. You're definitely setting more wheels in motion, which intrigues me. I give this chapter thumbs up just as I have the previous ones. You've established a high quality and you're maintaining it. Rock on. My thoughts:
- Including Gigi and Don is just hilarious. Have you sent this to Gigi? I bet she'd get a kick out of it. - I accept your explanation of the aging sphere-characters. Makes sense! - I don't know whether or not to be nervous about the father/daughter that comment to Mike about the 'Cuda. Are they really who they say they are? - Mike's morbid comments are pretty funny. "Only if I'm lucky..." - Cameo by Dos Equis! Always welcome. - The ending was VEEERRY interesting. Loved this part: "In another café, hundreds of miles away, a man sat at the bar staring into the mirror behind the bar. He had no idea who was staring back." - I also loved who that man turned out to be and how it took him a moment to realize who he was. I'm not sure WHY it took him a moment, but the scene has a certain power to it. It's cool. The Spanish and barflies are also pretty cool. "Diablo Negro!"
Prymal, you're beginning to blur the line between reality and the films, which is something I personally find mighty interesting. It's very meta of you in the same way it's been of the Scream series. Only this reads more natural - the Phantasm films themselves don't seem to exist in your universe, which at this point, I like that they don't exist. Onto Chapter Four tomorrow.

Oh yeah, i was gonna answer you! No, i haven't sent it to Gigi & Regg! I'm not on Face Book yet (you kiddin' me? I'm still blown away by the graphics on the original Mario Bros., let alone all of this internet stuff, LOL). But, i would LOVE for them to read, Dustin. If you are so inclined (i don't expect you to), you can send them a copy and let me know what they think!! I hope to be on FB eventually, but the wheels turn slow here! It's a time thing man, i put over 2 hours a day into the round trip to work!

Tell ya what, give me a couple days to finish your story so that I can bundle all the chapters and do a blog post on the Phantasm Archives website. THEN I'll send it to Reggie and Gigi for their consideration.

Whoa! Thanks Man, what an honor! I hope they like it, but even if they read it, WOW! More than i could hope for. When i met them in '08 at Fright Night in KY, i told them i wanted to write, but never thought i would get a chance for them to actually see my work!! If they mention being stuck with some guy all night in KY, um, that wasn't me...no...i was the..VERY cool..interesting guy that hung out with them all night, LOL.
