Talk:NES Godzilla Creepypasta/Epilogue/@comment-34890284-20180304061516

I know nothing about this game and almost as much about Godzilla, but this was an amazing read for going in cold! It was a little on the nose at times (the conection with Melissa's schitzophrenia and "Red" was pretty well foreshadowed without Red coming right out and saying it). There is enough ambivalence to harken that "terrifying unknown" feel that writers like Lovecraft are known for (very impressive; I find its not easy to do even in short stories). Images were a great touch, but about halfway in I began to wonder why you were still bothering with screenshots of a game that had gotten into your head (I'd be too terrified to take any decent caps by then.  Perhaps if the game started taking the caps early on without your knowledge for it's own nefarious reasons?). Also, you mentioned many times how you survived encounters through sheer luck. Thinking back on it now it's almost cannon that Melissa was *your* guardian angel, and it wasn't so much luck as an invisible hand helping you out when you needed it most (ae: the stone head in the dark labyrinth that kept you safe until the lights came back on--the head that reminded you of Melissa). Not sure how intentional that was, but it would have made the revelation much more gratifying if there were just a couple more "full circle" moments to think back on like that. The 'moon child' boss was an excelent segue into the flash back bit (the 'dream' wasn't ever expanded on, but legit as I'm writing this I'm changing my opinion and that was a great move.  Coupled with the flashback it's easily understood that you're talking about a recurring nightmare).

Sorry for the text wall, I was just going to say awesome job and whatnot, but then I had an opinion.
