If one of my legs is out of commission id try running like a three legged dog before i just give up☹️

[@DangerNoodle815]

if your gut tells you something is wrong, highly recommend listening immediately and asking questions later, especially if youre gettin weird or bad vibes from a person approaching or talking to you. of course you could be wrong, but even so, better safe than dead

[@wat8437]

So true. There's been times where I wish i had the sense to follow this, but addiction doesn't follow the rule

[@mulletmuscle8208]

Better safe than dead. You're one of the few other people I've seen/heard say it haha.

[@patricabevis7478]

Agree 💯💯 always listen to your gut. Every time I have, I learned later I avoided a disaster in my life

[@BeeGeeHikes]

I run alone and many times I’ve changed my routes or cut my run short if my gut tells me something doesn’t feel right. One time I got to an empty trail head and I just couldn’t get out of my car, I sat there for a while, feeling uneasy, I decided to drive back home. On my way out I saw a man coming out of the woods, he was just standing there, staring at me.

@@BeeGeeHikes 😱

[@EamonWill]

I love you lighthouse, but this story drove me crazy. An hour of describing how scary this thing was that approaching them and yet they somehow didn't have time to get away! Ugh!

[@ScreamingDucksShotMyMother]

Man, exactly! Maybe that's why they couldn't get away because Andrew was too busy making mental notes!

[@ingridkantor4411]

Agreed...

[@oanadorina19]

the characters are a 11 and 12 year old, you can't expect their innocent, inexperienced minds to comprehend a possible danger. On top of that, everyone knows that a very popular reaction to fear and danger is freezing - as a listener you might think that it's very easy to just run, but if you are not in their shoes and experience that terror, you can't know that you'll react "accordingly"

[@cirkleobserver3217]

This is less about a realistic reaction and more about how the descriptions are way too long. It started to get annoying.

[@christinas.4565]

Great story. A ton of description maybe a bit too much but that’s probably just because I’m impatient lol

[@faithruckdeschel1294]

I agree, it's a very good story(it is very unique and different)and although there's lots of description it feels like it's too much(I'm also a writer and this is exactly what I too have to watch out for because u don't to want to have too little)and it took a long time to get the crab creature(I was thinking about some nice buttery crab meat)get her on over to the boys, and most importantly, the little brother's death kinda went on too long, IMO. I love getting constructive critiques when a reader is decent and respectful? Plus only toxic insane folks with horrible immature intellectual skills are not able to give an opinion without trying to deconstruct all that a person is succeeding in.

[@JL-to9vg]

I love descriptive writing, and the writer did a great job painting a picture of the everything, but I felt like the period from the scene where he first saw the beach lady to the final point where she was fully visible, went on a bit too long. It made me frustrated because I felt as though the brothers had quite a long time to be uncomfortable enough to scram- and yet didn’t. I realize that maybe the events were happening much faster than I perceived, but it felt like everything was in slow motion.

[@kkm9292]

Of all the Creepypasta stories, this really got to me so much that I googled to see if the beach exists for real.

Ohhh man...that was a tough one! Your narrative style is SO expressive, I felt like I was at a table, listening to that traumatized man describe the worst day of his life, and believing every word of it! The author is so lucky to have had you, of all the narrators out there, bring his great story to life! Absolutely mesmerizing and heartbreaking!

[@dakotad97]

I find it interesting in these stories how victims never grow vengeful. It would seem that authors often focus more on describing a horrid scene and neglect the one witnessing as just being hopeless. Sure he was a child wounded on the leg. But that kind of trauma sometimes leads to a particular kind of madness. An incessant need to regain control. A drive to avenge a fallen loved one and inflict a rightous justice in slaying the creature. To end the nightmares and guilt. The story was pretty good, great discriptions, left a few loose ties.

The author's next 2 stories? Story 1) About people consumed by a demonic tree sloth they saw approaching for 2 hours, from 200 yards away, that caught them as they watched instead of walking the other way. Story 2) About people flattened by a steamroller as they watched it approach for 20 hours from 5 miles away, with a full night's sleep in the middle. Not to say the author doesn't have some talent, because they do, but they need to learn how to Goldilocks it, not too long (like Crabber's Bay), not too short, but instead, just right.

The Grandfather never told their dad the danger of playing on that beach at night. He only told him not to do it. 2.) The fact that none of the neighbors care enough to warn others about the beach, and instead just turn a blind eye. 3.) The parents for not keeping an eye on their kids.

[@MsRangerBlack]

I think his dad grew up being told he couldn't go because his dad, the narrator's grandfather, was one of the original families and its suggested he may have known the risks but never explained the knowledge to his son. The narrator's father then raised his sons without that fear because he'd thought it unfounded, he was just wanting his sons to enjoy the beach as kids like he didn't get to, not knowing what dangers lived just beneath the waves.

[@verawalters6673]
