Lindz is gone too. She was so good for Brian and helped him become a better person. 

So much drama and angst. Still loving this story despite the creep factor of it with that horrendous

Painting. "Cringe."

"He had never lasted that long before; and, he had to ponder on the amazement of that and then he quickly concluded it was just another wonder brought on by the portrait. "

That's got to hurt after a while. And wouldn't the portrait show his penis all shriveled up?

I thought this was hilarious! Justin thought he had sex and that the woman had a penis.

A lot was going on in this chapter.  Brian healing quickly has me curious about how that could happen. Molly killed by the demon Justin?

This was a very interesting chapter.  I never suspected Justin would have been possessed. I also never realized the homosexual aspects of the original story. I saw the earlier black and white film and loved it. I never saw the others. I have to look at it again.

Nice job!

Author's Response:

Thanks 'no sleep' for responding again.  And, forgive all my typos.  I'm trying to update and do my college homework at the same time. I know some places I spelled Flesh as fresh.... and forgot the 'in' in  inevitable a few times;  and things that I need to edit here and there.

"I never suspected Justin would have been possessed."... that is not done by accident, there are clear cut reason for that, you will discover in future chapters.  As, well as when this story moves into the present day, when Brian is 212 years old and decides to end it all like he had attempted on his thirtieth birthday.

And as far as Ocar Wilde's Dorian Gray, there's a whole history regarding the story.  I read that the first time he wrote the story it was to appear as a short story inside a popular aristocratic magazine; but the publishers rejected it because of it obvious bisexual content. So, he revised the story several times before they finally published it; and every time he rewrote it it became less and less obvious about it homosexual tendicies.  However, he want to remain true to his original story ideal so he cleverly hinted about Dorian's bisexuality.  It just the very clever reader had to read carefully between the lines.  

In fact, very few people might realized but Basil Hallward the artist who painted Dorian Gray had something in common with Sybil Vane, that most people don't notice.  Every letter in the word Sybil Vane  is almost in the term Envy Basil....  S-Y-B-I-L  V-A-N-E.... rearrange the letters and you get Envy Basil.   I don't think that was mere conincidence.  I think Oscar Wilde intentionally did it that way.

To the point that only the most perceptive readers could detect the bisexual content.  

The 2009 version starting Ben Barnes, you can see that in its entirety on Youtube.  They were I saw it.  It's still posted there as far as I know. However, it's broken up into about ten sessions.

Oops! I forgot to say that I love the devilish Justin character. I usually love Michael as the villain but as long as you killed him off it's all good. LOL!
