Untitled - 7 Days of Hallowe'en - Day 6 - Nov 4

This story is more gory than creepy, but I haven't made it graphic. It also got a little dark.

I had hoped to finish the challenge today, but constant family interruptions have meant the last part will have to wait.

Solid characters movingly (but not soggily) written.

Thank you :-)
I wasn't sure about having Illya crying, but decided he wasn't a robot, and that situation was bound to affect him.

It works fine!

Very well done. This poor creature elected sympathy from both of us. Your story was dark, but really good.
Hey you're almost to the finish line!

Thank you :-)
I think years of watching sci-fi have taught me that the monster isn't always to be feared. I hadn't expected it to go as dark as it did, and I debated with myself for ages about whether to have Illya cry or not.

I'll hopefully get the final part up by Tuesday night. I would have said tomorrow, but I haevn't done my Short Affair yet.

Hey surprise, I have a Short Affair for tomorrow. Not sure how good it is, but since the muse is still around I might as well take advantage.

the last line was very unnerving ! A story with many layers - well done !

Thank you so much :-)
Call me weird, but I like to think that there is a darkness hidden Illya's past.

yes, I too, think he has met his share of monsters.
