[Mary Evans]

Again interesting introduction. Its short but at the same time develops and reveals the story onwards.

[Devons]

This is told with a powerful sense of precipitation; building a pretext to a doom-laden urban legend. An almost tongue-in-cheek voice of darkness seems to narrate it, deceiving its audience with subtle, playful histrionics - but hinting darkly at a much more sinister undertone and reality.. The inevitable feeling one would be left with when such descriptions of "death camps" and "child slaves" are employed. A threatening bedtime story that is clearly not meant for your average little daddy's girl.....

[Tia Sanchez]

I'm liking this. A poetic storytelling approach. Can't say I've ever read anything like this before.

[Desert Dreamer]

Very dark and intense words you have in these verses. This story adds to the suspence of reading your novel.

[Dane Osborne]

[Sabbath_Nikole]

So that's how this all started. I like how your telling this from multiple perspectives, it really rounds it out. Makes it whole and complete. On to the nexxxxt.....

This is has such a dark, visual feel (I could imagine the graphic novelization). You've got the foundation here for an amazing story! Excellent!
