"It's Halloween -- everyone's entitled to one good scare."

In honor of the spooky season, I've written a little story: click me! Just be warned, it does get dark. BTW, from here on out all my Sonic stuff will only be uploaded to A03 (I need to post that announcement on my Fanfiction.net account as well).

I do have my concerns if readers will understand the intent behind the story. I can see people going "Sally's a martial artist/blademaster/whatever, I don't understand why she doesn't fight back and get away." And it's like, okay, but that's not the point of the story. Predatory Drift is not a traditional straightforward action-adventure story like many other Sonic stories are, it's psychological horror. Think like a Shirley Jackson story, Psycho, The Shining, Hereditary, The Babadook, etc, in that readers are supposed to be feeling a sense of dread and such, especially when the climax hits. That's not going to happen if Sally's up there kung fu fighting, y'know? 

Also, I wouldn't dare post PD on deviantART or FF.net. If I did, I'd more than likely end up having to go into hiding Salman Rushdie-style.

I have no problems whatsoever with somebody commenting to either disagree with or debate something I've said, but PLEASE try to be civil while doing so. You can disagree with someone without being disagreeable. Flames will not be tolerated. I will also not tolerate people who try to debate something but won't back it up with facts or evidence.

Also, debate does not mean "change this story detail, I don't like it. :)"
