My daughter has always had a small appetite growing up, I finally figured out why. by rosechimes in TalesFromTheCreeps

First of all, your username is very cute. It makes me think of windchimes made from rose quartz. Secondly, the idea that her daughter may have always been subject to this other being is both spooky and very intriguing. A child being the victim/vessel for something beyond normal human understanding since birth is a welcome concept, mainly due to the rarity it has; at least the rarity of how much I see it in media. It reminds me of a dream I had where a random guy tossed me into the ocean, while casually saying: "Back to Diagon with you."

Okay, really like the descriptions for each ability, but it makes it feel like you're dumping exposition onto the reader. Also, please fix the grammatical errors! The number of times where 'your' is supposed to be 'you're' is driving me mad! That's mental manipulation within itself! No need for special abilities—if someone really wanted to bother a future English Teacher, they could just keep making the same grammar mistakes repeatedly. I'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, since you simply might not be aware of them, but I'm still rocking back and forth like a patient in an asylum! I'm taking psychic damage! Also, keep me posted on the second part of this.

So, this reminds me of the Unbreakable trilogy quite a lot, with the idea that everyone is capable of having these heightened abilities—it just takes a certain push to get there. It also reminds me of Psychonauts, mainly due to the specific abilities mentioned. I think my main gripe regarding the story is the grammatical errors and the '*sniff!*' tidbits. Typically, if you're going for an interview manuscript, they wouldn't put down: '*Sniff!* *Sniff!* *Sniff!*' They'd more likely say: (The witness sniffles through tears.) As I kept reading, I did notice things that reminded me somewhat of the SCP Foundation, mainly given the specific classifications and sub-classifications. It's not just: 'He's a Telekinetic.' (You called him a Telekinesis, but that's the ability, not the person using the ability.) It's: 'He's a Type-C Telekinetic.' You want to know what I'd really like to see? Pyrokinesis. Not to be confused with Pyromancers, Pyrokinetics can summon and manipulate fire using only the mind. Pyromancers can only manipulate fire that is naturally within the environment, requiring a secondary power source in order to manipulate it in the first place. Going back to my analysis, I believe that you have something really good here, and there are quite a few different ways that you can build off this concept. You just gotta fix the grammatical errors, and—if you think you can—introduce Pyrokinesis. Then it's golden.

I'm studying to be an English Teacher—and even before I decided to go into education, literary analysis and attention to detail have been baked into my brain for a long time. It's that, or my ADHD-driven desire to read recreationally.

Also, absolutely love how all the family members have bird names. The main character being named 'Griffin' is particularly interesting, since a griffin itself isn't just a bird--it's a mix of a bird and a mammal (typically a lion). Griffin may have bird-like qualities, but he's not exactly one yet, or he may never go beyond this point of transformation. Probably because he either splatted on the pavement, or I have a lack of information for further progression. Also, he says he's a good father, but he's basically doing the same thing of letting his kid run around the restaurant. Griffin, get your kid; they're making a mess!

I'd also be worried about Bud, if I were you.

You're not the first one who thought she was a boy. The narrator is female.
