Not bad. If a little more emphasis was put on the emotional parts, the resonance of the story would go through the roof! :)

Forgot to post here a while back.

Anyway, as I said in the PM, not bad and this is quite a suspenseful story that leaves you wondering what could be out there in the darkness. I am also surprised to see this be quite a dark story which I very much welcome. Keep up the good work and I wish to see more of this. :)

Thanks a dozen, GvJ.
Part 2 is in the process of being edited for some more additional stuff.
Part 3 is also in the works in my head, to be written out soon enough.

Well, somehow I overlooked this story before and I'm sad that did not read it sooner!

The story was laid out pretty well, I liked the dark tone this story is going with and the use of first person narrative. Honestly I'm not a big fan of first person, however, your story actually does nice job of keep the reader hooked. I loved the insights to the family as definitely tried to establish some character drama and for most part worked. Although probably could spend a little bit more on them, but sometimes is hard to do with first person.

Overall, this great story! I like how it is basically in mystery to what exactly the creature is and really do not see many monsters stories with the villain being a worm like creature. Keep it up!

Thanks a dozen! This story, though currently in a state of limbo, might resume with parts.

Hey, that happens man. Heck, most of my stories have become on hiatus lately >_> lol

Best thing to do is don't rush any aspect of the story, take your time.

Hey all! This'll be revived in due time, probably re-created with new kaiju and an altered plot. The name will be kept, but a new thread'll be created for the story.
