I like the theme of vision, especially its figurative interpretation, "It's time to see for yourself." I also like the detail to nature, especially of the snowbird and its effect on the son.
I felt the literature theme was a bit cliche or redundant. Your descriptions of Cameron's actions and feelings, in the final few paragraphs are interesting, especially those similar to being possessed.
The transformation into a fish-like creature is interesting. I like the strong sense of demise in the last few sentences. I felt the story title could've been different.
Your details of the combat is interesting, especially with comparisons to weapons like "sledgehammer" and "pitbull's jaws." I like how the predator-prey situation was reversed.
I laughed when the wraith would go backwards because of Tash's breath. I didn't understand how a knife could harm a ghost-like entity. I like your attention to the description of food.
The title could've been different and I'm not sure why the character's have full names for such a short story. I like the sense of mystery throughout the piece, especially with the questions in the beginning. I like your description of electricity in the first paragraph, especially as an invisible force.
I like your attention to environmental details. I like the image of the city engulfed in pure darkness. I also like the paragraph detailing the encounter. In the sentence, "Looking even closer, I noticed something which sent a chill along my spin," did you mean "spine" instead of "spin?"
