Great Lead Character

"I really enjoyed this story! In a short amount of time you were able to make me feel curious, frightened, and interested in Lieutenant. Harwood. He's a strong character with extra dimensions. He's "real". The way you describe the dark silence spooked me! And the boy in the forest is creepy! I'm looking forward to reading more stories written by you. I hope you'll have more with Lieutenant James Harwood!"

Yikes!

"I love that you packed so much in here even though it was a short story. I liked the basic idea of the strange boy and the mysterious killings. That said, I think you could empower this story by drawing it out more and giving us more time to be afraid. I knew right away that the boy was evil, but maybe if they would have conversed for a while or something, it would have added more suspense. I liked that you gave it a chilling ending, but I would have liked to have known more about what the boy was and what he meant by the phrase, "Today you die. Tomorrow you wake." It was well done though, and I think it has a lot of potential. Good work! :D"
