Here's a copy of your story, here's why it was deleted: It failed to meet basic quality standards. Starting with the basics, I suggest looking over the quality standards as that would have answered a majority of your questions as the story is one large paragraph, has a large amount of mechanical errors, and story issues As for reposting it, a deletion appeal needs to be made and this story needs to be completely re-written if you want the appeal to pass as there are a lot of problems here.

Grammar: It's=it is, its=possession. "it(apostrophe missing)s just one night out with the guys.", "Its just one or two drinks Fi, what could go wrong?", etc.

Punctuation: Commas missing where a pause is implied. "Come on Fi(comma missing) its just one night out with the guys.", "Call 911(,/!) my leg is broken!", etc. Quotations missing from dialogue. ""arghh(should be capitalized).(period not needed)!!!(quotation missing) He looked down at his leg,".

Wording: "Driving back from the bar wasn't exactly the best way to drive home.", "The creature(apostrophe missing)s back turned making a cracking noise as the spine was rearranging itself.", etc. You shift between present tense and past tense multiple times. "The man now turns and Robbie gets a better look at him. his (His) ribcage is sticking out like it was broken open, whoever this man or thing was, it wasn't human." (present) to "Robbie screamed in horror and started to crawl as fast as he can. The creatures back turned making a cracking noise as the spine was rearranging itself. It stood up and made its way toward Robbie. Robbie yelled out into the night begging for help. The creature got closer. Every step it took made a snapping sound. Robbie managed to grab the bottom of the door" (past)

Story issues: Your story does a lot of telling and not showing the audience ("His "problem" is what got him fired from his job and banned from certain stores. He promised he wouldn't touch another bottle if he could help it. He began going to the classes and he was doing good, he had been three months sober.") So much so that this feels more like the cliff notes for the story rather than the complete story.

Speaking of which, there really isn't an effective ending to the story so it feels unfinished (the part 1 section confirms that as well). This wiki doesn't accept unfinished pages as they're rarely finished on time and tend to be abandoned projects.

Story issues cont.: I'm going to wrap it up by saying this, the story isn't really effectively told. It feels like the monster was shoe-horned in to the ending to give it a spooky ending, but it really has no impact on the story so it feels out-of-place. The fact that Robbie is a recovering alcoholic who just slipped out of sobriety really doesn't have any bearing on the story or come into play at all throughout the plot. With it being a large paragraph, the story feels rushed and the non-ending really weakens what you were going for.
