Unfortunately, I must with fellow writer Jay Ellis. I believe you opened a little heavily with info that required more background, which kinda made it confusing to start. A couple typos, but I’m not one to talk with mobile “auto-correct”. I do believe this is more mystery than horror, although could also fall in suspense with a little more context, which can just barely be tied to horror if done right. Just my thoughts though. Anyone else want to jump in? Horror isn’t quiet my expertise.
Overall, a fun read. I really didn’t expect most of what you wrote. Keep it up, buddy!
I plan to write a more detailed story from the perspective of one of the kids in another contest. So, it ain't over yet. That will be far scarier.
Also, Jay's story was what gave me the idea to write it like this. Great inspiration.
PS. Did you notice the children, rescuers and scouts weren't human?
Also, I'm glad to see that I was able to inspire you. That's always an awesome thing to learn, and I'm honored that I was able to do so for you. I think the way you formatted this was one of the things I loved the most about it. Great job once again. :)
If your interested, I wrote other stories about these creatures. Norway Huntress and Lily Tales. This and part 2 will eventually be added to Lily Tales.
Seeing how much someone liked my story really made my day!
