I have read your story and I have to say, from the chapters I read it was interesting, it has a nice hook of a kid dealing with a supernatural entity that seems to want to just mess with him (or at least so far that is).
I like the way he and the old man casually chat, i live for those slice of lifeish moments in any story.
Here is JTA in case you're interested in reviewing ^^
Also, technically the 'first chapter' is the first four Acts in the story... I originally did not write for Tapas so i had to cut my script in acts to acommodate for the character limit. But I'd say if you can make it to the end of act one that's perfectly valid.
I will understand if you don't stick with it, as it's not everyone's cup of tea... But hey, maybe you end up liking it. ^^
Also... fair warning as later episodes have mature scenes, But that is only if you stick with it for that long... And it's not so violent or naughty that it might cause a severe reaction.
