What kind of a weird mind does it take to ponder on the different ways one could make a child scream, without scaring it half to death and leave it traumatized? Kids must adore this - being scared, but immediatedly afterwards being assured that it was all for fun. Yep, you'd either make them or break them. LOL! You must have raised strong kids. After you, everything else would have been a piece of cake. LOL! You're a great story teller, snod. This is great children's entertainement.

Hahahaha; poor kid, scared the beegeezes out of her. Very good scary story for a kid. Easy to read, flowed really well. Creative imagery, story line structure was good too. One typo that I could find-"apart form [from] its wetness, is that it is so boring." Well done, look forward to reviewing more chapters to come.

Annabelle learns about, um, kiler slugs
Killer?
The people, too, seemed wet. Their spirits seemed dampened
you have a double 'seemed' here. Perhaps you could change the second on the 'somehow' or something to that effect.
Everything and everyone was grey and damp and miserable.
You have the weetabix as grey also(I thought they were light brownish). Is there another colour or word you could use here?
at the grey rain.
Another grey thing.
The slug oozed under the door, leaving a cupful of slime dripping onto the floor.
Dripping from where? Under the door?
That was very good. It sure has been a while since I've read one of yours Snoddo. Earlier in the piece you had a whole heap of 'hads' and while some are necessary I think you could possibly remove a few. I enjoyed the read and could see myself reading something like that to one of my kids. Thanks for posting.
