Good read! Is it just me, or was that Sal guy a tad creepy with his comment about seeing little Mary again, or just prescient? Maybe as a father I'm just paranoid.

-”the woman who saw them too late” / Sounds awkward. Rewrite it.
-”Mark though as he tried move as silently as possible” / Turn "move" to "moved."
-”I hope that she is watching” / Take out the word “that.”
-”neighbor he would never see alive again” / The phrase “never see alive again” needs to be rewritten. It's awkward.
-”if more children survive like my little girl.” / This is awkward. Rewrite this.

Overall, the plot is not too bad. I didn't see too many errors. As I read more I will have more to say on characters and the story.

It's a first draft with no peer editing yet. If you want me to send you the entire story and then have you edit it, I am all for it!
Thanks Anianna!

I am going to give you a hint and highlight the meaning of that. I may reword the passage so it sounds less creepy, but that is the way that the dialogue is playing out in my head as I write it. The character is going to need a lot more development than that one meeting will show, and Sal will *definitely* be showing up again in the story.
Thanks Anianna!

I believe this is called a cliff hanger.
