This is very nice. I love the surreal quality to it - even the lucid parts - and the scope of it is oddly cinematic. It really is a story that gives the sense that one is watching it more than reading it; you write both setting and blocking extremely well. They tend to be things I let fall by the wayside, but they do so much for your story here.

I think the weaving of the realistic elements of casefic with the supernatural plot was a clever and interesting plot device. This was really just intensely interesting and a great read. :) Enjoyed it muchly!
