Talk:"Scarecrow" by R Scabree: Reviewed as I Read/@comment-24267757-20140509152140/@comment-10222945-20140509164503

Thank you.

The ending was meant to be somewhat ambiguous. To me, it's far scarier to imply something and let readers' imagination run away with it.

Basically, there's eldritch forces working in our realm toward a goal that even I'm not sure of but spells bad news for humanity. Occasionally they influence people's minds.

Again, I feel like saying too much spoils it (and while I don't plan a direct follow-up, that doesn't mean that the forces at work won't show up in a future pasta, and for that matter we may not have heard the last of R. Scabree) so my advice is to extrapolate from what I said in the story. There are things we cannot see that touch our reality and influence it. They don't mind telling a few people, like our narrator, about it (and taunt them) because really, what could we do to stop it?
