Hello Arem (I'm previously H-A-Cooke)!
I wanted to reconnect and figured the best way was to look up your profile.
Here's my feedback!
WRITING:
THE HOOK: Beginning the piece with a news cast was intriguing. I instantly found myself wanting to know more about 75-Year-Old George Porter and Alex Zeeta. However, I feel the shift from third-person to first-person is rough and jogs the reader from the story in a way that shifts interest.
GEORGE PORTER: Instantly I found it off that a farmer would be murdered for no reason. I am already developing theories as to what he subjected Alex Zeeta to - and if that has any links to lycathropy or a similar condition.
INVESTIGATOR: He reminds me of Scully from X-Files. Focused on facts and skeptical of the supernatural. I am interested to learn his name - figure out what his motivations are.
EDITS
1. "I think I might have found something more disturbing THAN a murder."
When you are drawing a comparison between two things: the murder and "the disturbing thing" you want to use the word 'Than' not 'Then.'
Kudos on a Good First Chapter.
