I was wondering how this part would be handled! Again, the economical writing style here really did well to bring out the tension with such well-chosen descriptions.

Thanks! The next part(s) will be a real challenge, I think.

Getting to the chilling part. I always find the carnage in the hall the most horrible bit of the story.

A writing acquaintance of mine wrote a version from Grendel's POV. I haven't read it yet - won't until I've finished this - but I'm curious to see how she handles this part, as I understand it's sympathetic to Grendel.

Even Grendel had to eat, and his old mum too.
