Thank you Blackarctic
it was what i was going for, you only know what the character knows and his own thoughts and feelings of the situations are mixed into the story building up a bigger picture of the world around him.
I only just finished adding a chunk of back story being told by another character to a part far further on than this, probing who the real monsters are in the world in the end, those called monsters or the humans that label them.
This above is still only 3,800 ish words out of the other 42,000 and growing that i still need to double check, prune, add to, proof read, etc its all light hearted overall even when there are serious events like above.
Glad you enjoyed it so far might look to adding the prologue soon.
