Sorry it took so long to get back to this.

I wanted to thank you for your response. When I first saw that there was a reply I wanted to avoid it. After two days feeling like no one had so much glanced at it, I was worried maybe I had done something wrong with the plot.

I really like the level of insight you gave to the story. Most of what I write is by my gut. I won't always know what I did right but I know I like it and it looks feels good. I have plans to add quite a bit, maybe even make a novela out of it sometime; firstly however, I wanted to see if what I have so far works.

The first part actually originally ended as soon as David went home the first time. I later added him going back to observe the commotion around the angelic beings departure and thus foreshadow the demonic creature. When I first worked on it, I knew I wanted the creatures to make global appearence and though the demon does come to the village I really wanted to add in a city scene; so I passed over that and instead hinted to it happening. I was contemplating if I wanted to write about how cities, governments, and the world might step in; I may do this later. I feel like the story will take an entirely new form if I add in attempted captures and direct interference with the beings.

The biggest driving force for me is the concept of human life after contact. I myself do not know yet what will happen. The angel brings wisdom and peace, the demon brings fury and anguish. What would happen if someone who was influenced by the angel, came in contact with the demon? Would they cancel each other out, would the demon have to simply work harder to corrupt them? Would the human mind be overloaded and destroyed?

Anyway, thank you again, and good catch on the missing word. I tend to do that a lot xD.
