You're quite welcome. While I do encourage you to continue to grow as a writer, I would ask that you please hold on to this style of writing as well. One thing I forgot to mention was this story took me back to shows like Tales from the Crypt and Monsters.

Campy horror, as this would potentially fall under, is still a great form of literature in my opinion. It opens up a doorway that most people don't appreciate and may be one of the more difficult styles to perfect. After all, an average horror writer can craft a tale that will scare get scares from the reader, just as an average humor writer can get chuckles.

However, it takes a huge degree of talent to craft a campy story that doesn't come off as intentionally ironic. Something like Attack of the Killer Tomatos is campy but not meant to be taken as a serious horror movie. But when you can combine real elements of fear with real elements of comedy and blend them together successfully, I guess you get "non-ironic campy" which isn't quite dark comedy or dark humor, but something else. I know for a fact that I couldn't personally pull that style off.

TL;DR: You have a unique talent. Feel free to grow as a writer, but don't abandon this style.
