So these otherworldly monsters, for the most part, are terrified of a middle aged drunk guy?

It's funny to see everyone's reaction, because last time this was posted everyone kept hating on it. Nice to see the opposite.

Meh. Okay writing, I guess. A little clunky and the dialogue is amateurish.

I don't like the practice of using a period after every word in a sentence for emphasis. It's incorrect and lazy.

I don't understand, why is the monster suddenly so protective when his job is to actually terrify small children?

Considering it is very unlikely the author is reading my comments, who would be benefitting from constructive criticism? Also, cute attempt.

That says you're the good type of monster.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

Hah, I thought the same thing. What that says about you: you care about the well-being of a fictional child. You're good, my friend.

9 years ago | Likes 24 Dislikes 0

I won't argue that. No child should have to live in danger, but especially not from people that are supposed to love them the most.

I kind of like this in concept, but the author messed up the names...

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I thought that too..but maybe it's to show that perhaps he's a stepdad to Charlotte - so diff surname?

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Never noticed that before the other time's I've seen it posted. Agree with @mully19 that it might be a stepdad or the mom's bf.
