Thought about doing a "live-tweeting" of this story but as I got into the meat 'n potatoes of it, didn't feel right. I like how you've broken out the "limbs"--I initially thought it was referring to something else, but the explanation of the macguffin for the search (i'm being coy becuse i've checked the 'also share to notes' box so avoiding spoilers) changed the meaning somewhat.
I really like how you've set the stage in every sense--setting, characters, problem, present understanding of the solution. And yet you end with a hint of mystery along basically every dimension. Jumping right into Half Two!
There are certain words that trigger excited terror in me when they crop up in a horror story and you've got one of those words, "cryptozoology." in this installment. That word conjures up a delicious bevy of horrorible mutations and strange lives that don't belong. I can't wait to read the next installment.
Always packed with quotable snippets! Equal parts giving and holding back to make us readers wonder (and hope and fear) what’s coming next!
The knowing irony of "Why can’t places just be beautiful without magic or mysteries or conspiracies or anything like that?" is delicious
Oh my...now I have to wait to see what happens next? :)
Really enjoyed this. Looking forward to reading part 2!
So many mysteries . . .
HAZEL!!! what a character. i’m hooked.

You always make the setting feel so alive and the characters so real. Color me intrigued! What does Youngest mean?!?

I have to wait a week for the next part??? Just saying, it's so good that I want it all now!!! 👏👏👏
Ooooh... I love how I have no idea where this could go! Very much looking forward to reading the whole thing. <3
Loving this!
I’m intrigued! Looking forward to the next part. :)
Love the foreshadowing and details! Looking forward to part II!
Hmmm, maybe I should not have read this after dark! Tension is set like a wire you could pluck...
