Nice little piece

Posted on Sat, 23 Feb 2019

Conveys a combination of mystery and confusion with a concise choice of words.

Works well

I think it takes some time - maybe a little too long - for the tension to build, but once the creature emerges it's effective, and the twist at the end works nicely.

Is this a morality tale?

... but powerful in its honesty. I'm sure a lot of people go through these emotions when a loved one who has been seriously ill for a long time passes away. And I like the way you convey that in a lot of little details about the narrator's life...

Very sad

Posted on Sat, 16 Jun 2018

This might come across as a bit too quick and a bit too brutal, but I'm sure it represents the way some people treat their children. It pulls together a lot about parental favouritism, impatience and a heartless competition between siblings that...
