Well, this isn't much of a story. It's a bunch of article pieces about some crazy cryptid that might've been imagined by a nine year old.

I mean, give it a story, a concentrated plot. A beginning, middle and end, a conflict, characters with motivations, some background noise; you know a story. Someone was hiking and came across something weird, started inspecting, one thing lead to another here comes this lizard thing (omit the firey part... it kills any semblence of terror this thing could've caused).

Obviously you can start it with a news account that ties back to a story of your narrator, or a character, you could also set it up as a cryptid hunter hunting for this thing only to dismiss it eventually and close off the story with the cryptid revealing itself to the audience.

You can make it about a cryptid terrorizing some small town or something too where the townsfolk just assume it's this fire engulfed lizard thing while in reality its something else that can pass off as a burning lizard man.

The way it is now, it's not too good for anything.
