Hee hee - I don't think even I know what's happening to all the kids - I changed my mind sop many times, from cheesy happy endings to really disturbing endings, but none of them worked, so I thought I'd let you wonder. ;)

I absolutely adored this story. It was written very well! I liked the simple style, as well as the different sections telling about each abduction.
My favorite thing, though, about it as a whole is how eerie and addicting the beginning is, and how, gradually, the settings of the abductions become less eerie but still so dangerous. Honestly, the beginning was what hooked me... The imagery was perfect, and I had this incredibly creepy but really vivid picture in my head of a little girl in white on these rocky cliffs, her hair blowing in the wind, and I could literally hear her childish voice singing and I got chills. And then there were the woods, an equally creepy setting. But once you get to a nursery school and a grocery store, for God's sake, you begin to feel that sense of complete hopelessness. Like the children aren't safe anywhere anymore. I loved it!
Awesome job! Though I was yearning to find out more about this monster... *shudders* Anyway, really good work.
**grins** Thank you! That was what I was trying to do - make each one more and more casual as we went along, and I'm glad you picked up on it.
Thank you for your review! :D

Yay! :D Creepy, just what I wanted! :D Yeah, I was going to put what/who was taking the kid's, but it didn't really work and then I was thinking about the Blair witch and how you never actually see it and I just thought it'd be better without.
Yes, I've seen POTC3 ;) but it was more the Devils Footsteps I was thinking about when I wrote it, if you've ever read that. Very good book.
Glad you liked it!

I loved that! It felt creepy, like the feeling you get when you see Armageddon or something...I wonder just what our little snatcher is, though...
One thing confused me. Ashley and Ethan. Is Ashley a boy's name? And the part with the teddy bear, you said he grabbed his sister's teddy bear. What was that about.
Yes, Ashley is very much a boys name in England. It can be a girls name, but more often than not it's a boys name, contrary to America. ;) Maybe I should of used a different name, sorry!
I said sisters teddy bear because they have a sister, though she doesn't appear in the story I just thought it'd be weird for two teenage boys to have a teddy-bear. :p
I'm glad you like the story!

lol, that's the effect I wanted! :D
Thanks for reading and reviewing.
