For any comments on the story.
Author's Notes: I wrote this story for the first Short Story Contest at the AB/DL Story Forum, once I realized I wasn't going to finish Benu in time, or anywhere near the page limit. I thought that maybe using what is probably my most famous character would give me a bit of an edge, even though she'd grown quite a bit in between the first story and this (I hadn't wrote A Penni For Your Thoughts at the time, though I did know what was going to happen in it).
The idea for the story came from my Daddy showing me an old picture of the kinds of cribs that they used in old mental institutions, and from there I thought about a character going to one of those places and getting trapped in one. It took me a week or two to figure out that, rather than trying to make a new character for that to happen to, which I was finding to be rather impossible to do, it should be Penni.
The title, which is a line from the Thursday song This Song Brought To You By A Falling Bomb, doesn't make a ton of sense with just this story, but hopefully it will when I write the rest of it.
And yes, the character she gets a ride from at the beginning of the story is meant to be Jesse Custer, from Preacher, ideally during the arc at the end where he's driving around, meeting all the minor characters from the first half of the series (and Elvis).

Everyone loves a good old haunted mental institution story, but what I really liked about this story was the character development since the last Penni story, the attempts at maturing past the imagination only to fall back into the old style of reasoning at the end made for a nice ending. You also did a really good atmosphere build and made good use of classic style devices while creating a good first persona narrative at the new age. Your ability to create a the same character at a different age really does show here.
