Yeah I get you. I guess it's like in my story you're left asking "but who is actually coming?" But you had gone to so much trouble to describe the dolls, I have to say I felt a little cheated when they weren't, if not explained, at least hinted at. Had it been real sci-fi/horror (not sure which genre you intended it to be) I would have said those WERE the victims, all shrunk down (they didn't make a little red jacket for Mick; that WAS him) and then ok. But I really can't think of anything other than that it was their essence distilled down into the dolls, all the "stowaways" didn't need, all that was left behind.
Also, and again this is just a suggestion, well kind of a question too: would it be true to say that the creatures were stowing away in the bodies of the people, or had they just duplicated the - oh wait. You already said they were doubles. Hmm.
Yeah I might try that site. Doesn't say anything about price though. I'd love to get something published.
Had this idea: a YouTube video with just words, the first few lines/paragraphs from a story and then a link to show you where you can download/buy the whole thing. Wonder if that would work for us unknown would-be writers?
