The vocal tonality applied to these stories are told are excellent and really draw you in to the story, it has that at first calming feel that transitions into the benignly terrifying. Pure brilliance.
I've never had a pet, besides growing up with horses and cows and a pig. I've never known or experienced that purely instinctual animal protection. I am always fascinated by their intuitive reaction to a perceived threat against their owner. How are they able to determine someone's intentions? And are these mainly the special doggos with such heightened abilities and not necessarily every dog/human bond? \(ϋ)/Jw...
It's a pack mentality, in the wild with their pack they need to have to ability to sense threats. They can smell the hornones produced by different emotions. For example, with fear they can smell the adrenaline kicking in.
You know ppl "don't believe their own eyes" nor, from some stories, their own "ears" nor even there own "mind" when they try to ask others, that weren't !EVEN THERE!, wtf they saw, heard, or think!!
Wait, why does the first persons story think it was a skin walker or anything unusual. It was just another hunter minding their own business? Idk much about hunting so I could me confused??
you're definitely right! idk exactly what it is, but lots of narrators do it. to me, it sounds like it happens at punctuation. and that would make editing a LOT easier if they mess up, and just repeat a small section in the same sort of tone.
That second story is pure fiction top to bottom, including the writer’s gender. It is purely indulgent. Why, when there was an intruder, would the husband ask the wife to get his gun - what was he doing?! The first wait time of two hours isn’t impossible, but the second wait time of seven hours is insane for an active situation. And don’t even get me started on the whole macho army man thing… him creating an army gang to go and rescue the housewife damsel! Nonsense.
