@NoTimeCreepy - Thanks for being honest. My main goal when I write is to try to create something unique, and as you said, that's incredibly difficult in the Creepypasta community, from what I've seen. My second goal is to create something that will stick in your mind for a long time after you've read it. Since you said you liked it as a general story, I'm not sure if I accomplished what I set out to do or not. In any case, thank you for taking the time to read it, and I hope you'll like my second draft when it's written!

@TheWizardOfTheWoods - First of all, thanks for taking the time to write an in-depth review. It's helped a lot! I'm really glad someone liked the overall concept, which I've been toying with on and off for a while now. I am pretty excited that someone got what the story was supposed to be about because when I showed it to someone in person they had no clue what was going on. I was afraid it was nonsensical!

I'm also pleased you enjoyed the line about about the moth, which I had a strong mental image of as I wrote. It was one of my favorite pieces of this story to do :-)

I don't enjoy overwriting so much as I do underwriting, leaving more to the reader's imagination. My writing style in general tends to be a little sparse so when it comes to my second draft I will definitely try to spice it up a bit.

Thanks again for reading through the whole story. I will definitely spend more time working on it.
