You always write with such an entertaining level of skill, I am beginning to think you could turn any idea into a brilliant horror story. There is almost a touch of dark humour to the idea of mutant manpuppies that I really enjoyed. Yet the way the concept is framed gives it a ring of authenticity that makes it seem like a genuine urban legend, it even had the underlying cautionary aspect. This has such a strong opening, it drew me in right from the start, and had me wondering why she intended to get so drunk, only to find myself captivated by the subtle rise in creepiness until her desire to get exactly that drunk felt like a reflection of her personality. The sadari is a wonderful touch that both adds to the authentic feel, and works for such a strong ending.
