A Reply to "The man on 113th street"

This was really interesting to read! I love how you added some humor to deflect off of a serious and monotone type of setting. The way you narrated your own thoughts and feelings by getting a weird vibe from the house with the old man in it was very detailed. The most common event in every scary movie and story is when the nice person out of the two people who are usually close acquaintances in the main plot of a story, usually ignores the dangers and red flags of how someone who is dangerously unstable, and does not proceed with caution. I like how Sarah finally gains the moment of epiphany for when the man locks both you and her inside the home. This was like an "I told you so" moment, but Sarah completely ignores the fact that they hardly know this man, but was willing to help him despite the vibe he gives off. The climax of your story definitely had drawn me in. I also feel like this has a lot of potential to be published. Keep up the great work!
