You’re so creepy (positive.) I usually don’t care for horror for horror’s sake, and the way you added those deep rooted emotional stakes was so smart and deftly maneuvered. I read in a craft book about genre once that the root of horror is ultimately the battle of life vs death, and that the fear of non-existence is almost a religious one. You give real blood to Cory’s fears here: his fear of a “non-existence” of life without love, without money, without a chance at a future. Those fundamentally primal stakes are the key to this story breathing and I’m so glad to have read this
The creepiness and the overall writing were great! Really good and well-written story. Keep writing, fellow horror writer!
