Talk:Anansi's Goatman Story/@comment-4452268-20140928173354

Great narrative, extremely realistic way of describing the events and feelings, and the cat speak analogy was genius. However, i didn't like the climax of Goatmans appearance. Why did he just sleep with them peacefully?

The build up makes for some extremely dark tones: The coppery smell of cooked blood, hair is also mentioned. The way Goatman infiltrates the camp is sinister and intelligent, it comes off as planned. He seems to be able to morph into any person's shape without anyone noticing over the duration of an entire day. This could lead to a lot of horrific things. Eating humans or sustaining off of blood in some form comes to mind.

This all comes crumbling down once you see that there was no evil intention, its innocent, almost adorable. Sleeping alongside the people in the trailer. That's a good boy. The whole wicked game, the trickery, the imitation of human speech, all just for this? An open end might have been more fitting, since the buildup was great, and a joy to read.
