Now that's a problem: you used the ghost bomb to stop the sorcerer; what do you use to stop the ghost bomb? This was a great story, though I would not want to be in Luna and Bras' situation. Yikes.

Thanks, Michael. I'm happy you liked The Ghost Bomb.

I think, sadly, scarily, my body trembling and my bones buring, that there is no stopping the ghost bomb.

That ending is absolutely bone chilling. I’m with Jim: this would make an excellent short movie!

Thanks, Justin. Maybe...maybe...there are Hollywood agents on Substack.

Love the Philosopher's Dilemma - how many people is it ok to sacrifice for the greater good? (Only to find out it ended up being many more than expected... whoops!) As for Gretz, he sounds like an even more demented version of the Burgermeister Meisterburger from the Claymation of Santa Claus is Coming to Town.

Thanks, Dan. There were a lot of moving pieces to fit into place for The Ghost Bomb. The story worked out well for me, but not so much for Bras and Luna. Gretz: I didn't like him, but he had to exist.

Sounds like the start of something epic.

Thanks, Scott. I sometimes write sequels, and I think The Ghost Bomb will have one.
