Congratulations! I figured I should comment on the winning story.
I thought it was expertly written and a great take on Krampus. I wouldn't mind if it were longer even, but you did it in a short amount of words. That takes skill. Short and sweet. I like my horror bite-sized.
I just read your story, and I liked it. There is not much to comment on in such a short piece. The only thing I can think of is that I would've liked a little more, like the why, for example. Why was this happening, and why every twenty years?
An enjoyable read for those who like dark in bite-size pieces. :)
I loved the writing here, and the story was great as well, but I was a little underwhelmed by the ending. I think there could probably be a little more clever ending instead of a fairly standard horror one. That aside, I enjoyed the read. :)
Hello. I'm new here, so take my words with some salt.
I liked it. Quite a bit even. However, IMHO, I think it would be more impactful if we realize he did it at the very end of the story instead of 3/4 in. A twist always works best the later it's delivered. Just like a punchline in a joke must be.
Great job! :)
