Just my opinion but I feel a lot of horror stories benefit when you leave things like that vague and let the reader decide what happened.... I've read your comment over and over, but what I understand from your feedback is that this sentence:

" He heard his father’s voice, his moans breaking through the wails of a child."

should be removed or be made more vague? Could you explain it some more, please?

Otherwise, thank you for taking the time to react!
