I don't know what I think about this story. It's not really much of a story, though the note about it states that it's true. It is a creepy story, and relatable to anyone who's had a creepy experience that they just can't explain. And I suppose I can appreciate it for being a story so open to interpretation... but I'm with the first line: I like stories to be story shaped. LOL

I like my stories story shaped, too, but life isn't like that. I haven't really read any autobiographical info on Gaiman, so I was tickled with this story. My favorite line was that he was 15 and so desperately wanted to be 'cool,' (and who DIDN'T at age 15???) but I'm sure he didn't look cool AT ALL getting a ride home from his parents after being scared by an incorporeal gypsy! ;-)
