That is exceptionally written and breathless, and poetic too. The only edit I would do, though, near the beginning, when you write 'all I want to do is to sleep and dream' - remove the 'to' there, so it's just 'sleep and dream'. Hmm, maybe I'm just going into Sandman mode again... apologies!

Well-written and poetic! I love POV from the "monster". I really liked the sensory details you put into the story, giving us a grounded way to "see" the way the creature sees/smells.

This is brilliant, gorgeously written like haunting music, hard and magical at once. I handled this the way I would any beautiful thing with teeth: lovingly poring over it and going slowly.

Lovely, Garen. Haunting. The words flow like running, breathless.

this is a thing of beauty!!!!

the narative and the driven action of the animal has an intrinsic pace... the story drags you running through it and the imagery is so vivid. I am still not quite sure what is what but im going to read it again. i love the sinister arrivals at the end and of course I am so happy to have given you an inspiration by such a bizarre route. its great when something just sparks an idea isnt it!

huge pat on the back for this one! 😎🤌
