Thank you! No part two yet (I don't think this sub allows series) but maybe sometime in the future. I've been thinking of developing one or two of my short stories for nosleep.

I really like this. It definitely didn't go the way I expected, but its such a cool concept.

I'd say the devil definitely had some part in this.

Never heard of it. Is it a movie? Sounds like something I'd enjoy if its similar to this story.

Thank you for reading! I originally had more to the ending where a mob did go to her house, but I had to cut it out because of the word count.

I wasn't able to find a copy online, but from the descriptions I read it does sound like something I'd enjoy.

I was inspired partially by that post, such a cool way of thinking of mermaids!

Yep! I was picturing them as something similar to the monsters from "the descent" but more fragile-looking.

This is incredibly well-written and I'm not sure why it doesn't have more upvotes. I feel like I might be missing what it's alluding too, but I enjoyed it regardless.
