The Abandoned Child (Horror Story WS)

Alone in the park
I'm left alone
Soon wears the dark
I'm all alone
Not a spark of hope
I'm still alone
With the dreadful bark
Some fears die
Others grow
Alone

Style / type: 
Structured: Western
Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Last few words: 
Many stories go around about moms who abandon their children...Alas!! I thought the repetition of word alone to bring a kind of dreadful feeling. What does everyone else think :)

horror stories are usually tend to be more effective when a bit lengthy. I thought short can be sometimes effective though.

prepared to find more when I hit read more and at first was disappointed. Then I read it again and found that it left much to the imagination and what I could imagine was more horrible that what you had written! That, I think is the key to writing this horror-story, stirring the mind of the reader to reveal all the horrible things that might have happened. Well done! ~ Gee

So much loneliness in so few words, I have just put on a piece from my thoughts on the "Great Bears Wisdom" I wrote a few years ago as a complete set of the Wisdom.
Called "Walk Alone"
Yours is sweet and I know that you will never be alone, so I worry not..
Yours Ian..

It's what's between the lines... the obvious fears... that is the horror story.
I might have found a more childlike way to say the last line. The story to me was about a child, but the last line is very adult.

Hope it reads better now
