Not so sure how this one turned out, but it is what it is. Bear with me here!

Very nice

I very much so enjoyed this. The format was fun to read, and the ending, although not incredibly final, was quite a spook.

I give it a “Very Nice” out of “Bear Pun.” Easy +1, and I will read your future works, especially if they have the same formatting.

Have a nice day.

Who stole my saturation? Was it Snapdragon? Rounderpede???

Sweet story! Definitely an instant favourite. It really does have that mythology-type feeling behind it — appreciate how you never fully stated what it was, only that it wears bear skins. The ending was delicious and left things off untied — like a horror story would do. The prose was yummy as well. All in all, an excellent article! Reads so smoothly, sparks the imagination, neither over- nor under-detailed, keeps its mythology just vague enough for brains to be utilized. Tastes like huckleberry cobbler with a scoop of French vanilla ice cream.

What is life if not the contrast between what has been and what will become?

Crit Joy

I gave this very little crit because I thought it was very good the first time I saw it. And now I'm right! It's good, and I love it. I love my little bear friend.

I watch the yonder hills
See foodwrenches toil in dust
Let their cacophonous calls
Rend our bodies to rust

Oh this one's creepy! I like the way this slowly becomes a cryptid piece. I also like how we get the perspective of the 'bear' too. Pretty solid article~
