Very nice, I like that the protagonist is blocking the light and has to make a conscious decision to move so that they can see the horrible something.

Thanks for the sequel! Our Davey’s a brave one.

Ooh, that was brutal. Few things worse than a baby being eaten alive, man. Whew, that’s just rough. Well written, tense, and all that, but man, a baby?

I guess the baby came from “high-pitched wail of a child.” I intended that to refer to one of the boys who had been lost, so I was also surprised by the baby.

Yeah, I don’t know why I just assumed you meant a baby. You have to love how the misunderstandings on this website can take stories in unexpected directions.
