Hello @frost77,
You do a good job of creating mood and scene. The story is pregnant with menace, with something horrible that happened in the past and something that may happen in the near future. Readers, however, can only try to guess at what that is.

Thank you for posting this intriguing story in the Ink Well community. Have you read and commented on the work of at least two other writers this week? (See The Ink Well community rules on our home page.) This helps our community thrive, and also makes you eligible to be chosen for a spotlight in our weekly highlights magazine. Thank you!
