Great continuation. Is the mutation caused by the broadcast voice, or is it another manifestation of something more sinister? Can’t wait to find out?

Creepy and interesting which coincidently are the words that came to me when I first read one of your stories after joining Ficly (something to do with a blob-like creautre moving up stairs at a party). Welcome back!

I wasn’t sure if the distended skull and maddened eyes belonged to the creature-infant or the bird. Regardless, this is another great story. The details are chilling.

A mutated infant such as you’ve described would be a particularly horrifying menace to stumble over. This whole thing is so sinister, the world you’ve established in these two short pieces so bleak. I can’t wait to see more!

@smdasilva – that’s something I’m hoping to explore more in depth at a later point.

@Robert – Thanks! Creepy and interesting is what I typically shoot for in my stories.

@cthulhuburger – I tweaked it ever so slightly to make it a little clearer.

@Miles – Yeah, it’s a pretty bleak landscape in which to live. Survival is not easy.
