No, the surprise is why it's so effective. You also say just enough to get the imagination going so the horror is personal. That's a great technique; keep it up! Most often it's not good to paint the whole picture. imho...

This is a great piece. Really love the reality of this scene. I was seriously thinking of getting a raven but now-- And look: I made it to one of your short stories! Love your stuff, Honeygloom!

I have a thing about challenges. It's either a raven, a crow, or a raccoon. Whatever I may choose, I'm getting some interesting scars.

A raccoon, now there’s an interesting idea. They’re probably a real handful 😂

I just watched a TikTok about them: “crack addict energy 24/7”. Hmm.

I have cat energy, absolutely not a fit for raccoon energy😂

Same here. We had three. A black tom (of course), a tabby red, and a calico. Just said goodbye to our red lady, sad to say.
