I enjoyed reading this story thoroughly. It is a good idea for a movie and I hope you get this published.

As you have written hurriedly, there are many mistakes that need to be corrected, as I'm sure you are aware.
Good luck!

Hello wierdgrace.
This presents a frightening and dreadful image. I can't imagine what will happen next. I also can hardly wait to see.
I hope you are well.
Fondly, Rebecca

This tale did end suddenly, but I thought it was done well. Just needs finishing. Excellent story. Keep up the great work.

It is an interesting end to the story. Gramps died and Bonnie moved away. I guess she has some painful memories of the Loch. Unknown to her she bore a little girl who in turned bore more children. It might be the beginning of a new race.

Very interesting ending. My question is why didn't the girl octopus switch back and both like her father did? That's the piece I am not understanding. Oh well, maybe I am not supposed to.

Too many passive verbs.

Show her staying away, show her fear. Show, don't tell.

Sara, who. . .About fifteen. . . also discounted. . .

Too much telling, not enough showing, as I mentioned earlier.

Definitely needs a rewrite.

wierdgrace,

Your story takes turns and twists and keeps readers interested.

I did notice this which you may wish to edit:

wild tale they also uncounted the girl or
I think you mean 'encountered' and not 'uncounted'

Hi wierdgrace,

Entertaining beginning to a story here - a new type of Loch Ness monster perhaps? Looks as if it could develop into something much darker, perhaps with a twsits of horror to it?

was no longer happy here, - change the comma to a period
Hal Johnson, sitting in a boat - add the comma
fishing one day, came back - add the comma
You describe this new part human, part octopus species very well, Grace. Brooke
