Talk:I Bought My Son a Bucket of Slime for Christmas, and Now I Need Some Questions Answered/@comment-5733573-20181228042218/@comment-30994599-20181228044507

Thanks for the criticism, but know that this is me trying something new. The reason I had so much fun with this is because I came into this knowing exactly what I wanted to do with it. A lot of my stories are super bleak, so I tried to make this one as cynical and crass as possible. The character isn't supposed to be likeable- in fact, I loved writing from the perspective of an absolute asshole father who has no idea how to raise a kid. That said, I understand empathy gives the story a bigger impact and scare factor, but really, this is meant to be more Slither than The Fly.
