Fantastic, EJ. I love a good found footage story and this was so compelling. You really had me racing through and that final drawing is a perfect horrifying note ringing out! Mastery, in stellar BB fashion!

I read this a couple days ago, but I'm only now realizing I got distracted before telling you how amazing of an experience this was for me. I love the experimental nature of it. I love the creepiness, the creature itself, and the found footage approach. Just perfect. Of course, I expected as much coming from you. 👏

Something about violent unicorns gives me warm fuzzies.

Just love a good goring, I guess.

The multimedia way you told the story looks like a lot of hard work! And it turned out great!

Love the different formats — usually a story sticks to one but I like the blend

I've never read found footage fiction before. Are you trademarking this??? You should even if that's not a thing

hahaha maybe! I actually started fantasizing about printing all these artifacts and mailing them to people. that’s a package I would love to get.

I freaking love this! I love the style of the storytelling, I love the story, I am a cryptid junkie who just got a major hit. Fantastic story, EJ, as always.

Love the format with the clips and snips of forums, newspapers, letters, etc. Made it feel like real research into a bygone era. And the idea of a murderous cryptid on the loose in Central Park is a perfect use of the prompt. Excellent all the way around!
