This was fantastic to read. A fun ride with some cool atmosphere. You can write action very well, which is something i struggle with a lot. For some strange reason i got some alan wake and resident evil vibes from it. Can’t wait for part 2!

Thanks Arbaaz! I can just imagine Ross & Vickers moving awkwardly through the hospital corridors like an old Resident Evil game 😃

Great opening! I loved how visceral your descriptions were, made me really feel like I was there amongst the gory carnage.

Perfect, so they’ll be no wait. Let’s say that’s because I’m hyper organised and not just lucky. 🤣🤣🤣

OMG Stephen, this is epic!! As soon as you posted it, I couldn't wait to sit down and read it properly, and it was definitely worth the wait! I've got part 2 lined up for when I finish work!

Good to hear from you, pal. Best of luck with your midterms 🤞🏻🖤

Nicely done - in a short span you managed to get me routing for Vickers and hoping he wouldn't be killed. Did a great job with the entity as well...very creepy details

Thanks Tony! Part 2 coming Sunday 🙌🏻

I love a good horror story and this is a VERY GOOD horror story. The suspense builds gradually as we are carefully given descriptions of locations amid a growing sense of dread. The forest scene was riviting and the hospital scene, and the confrontation with the 'entity,' reminded me of a scene from "Aliens." Great stuff.

Expand full comment

Thanks Sandy! And Aliens is one of my favourites. You'll learn more about "the entity" in Part 2!

NICE! made me think of "WITCH! WHO WOKE THE WITCH???" out of "left 4 dead". a lot of story and a lot of tension in a very tight package. good work! more please!
