I'll be honest with you KrishKnox: I hate stories like these. It's nothing against your writing skill, which is excellent. It's that there is nothing, absolutely NOTHING that is clearly defined in this story. Unless this is the prologue to a novel, as stories like these often are, I have to say I'm not satisfied. Why is he there? How did he get there? Where did he go after? What was the being except a pair of eyes?
Great as a prologue, notsogreat as just a story.
MsDink's writing is great! Tell us a stowy, pleaaaase!
Here are a some prologue you'd like:
"Folks say if you listen at the height of the full moon, when the wind is blowin' off the nor'east and the dogs are howling for no earthly reason, you'd hear the awful screams of the crew of Ellie May, a sturdy whaler captained by John McTavish. For it was such a night when the rum was flowin' and, Davy Jones be danged, John brought his men out on deck for the first of several screaming contests."
Just for an example
