Lauren Hackney

That went dark Alex Gutenberg not what anyone wants to hear! Very effective and creative!

Matthew Thompson

I have already posted here, but since everyone is still throwing more out there… and Lauren Hackney said about dark… so then I immediately thought “how dark can I go?” so I’ll leave this here as R rated and not NC17 because I can go significantly darker. - kidnapped and trafficked
