Creator notes

My first attempt to make a SFW card based on a fictional character, the quirky Holly Gibney, from Stephen King’s books. Two intros: In the first I imagined you are a relative of Bill Hodges, that she hasn’t met before, and you show up at her office, unexpectedly. In the second you arrive at her door with a recent stab wound.
