About JT Pearson
About the author
JT Pearson studied writing at The University of Minnesota. He now lives in Wisconsin near his parents, most of his fifteen siblings, and their children. When he’s not writing he spends the majority of his time with an army of extremely small, dirty-faced beggars who are often missing at least one shoe, talk funny, are short a few teeth, and regularly pick his pockets for gum and small change whenever he’s distracted.
Feedback is much appreciated.

I often sample writers' works without reading the teasers first, and that was the case with this short story. Having read the story, I've now read the teaser and am quite surprised as it provides information about the situation that the story itself does not.
Stories should stand on their own; this one does, but is open to all sorts of interpretations. The information provided in the short description above, however, changes all that, so if that was the real intention of the story then it should have been made clearer in the story itself.

I read the devil into in the traveller. I suppose that was purposeful. If so, this is the best story I have read by pearson. I really liked the control he seemed to have over Joyce emotionally.
