A round of applause for originality. Few readers would anticipate the conclusion. You build tension well, and you make all of us feel irritated with Jack. Fortunately, the goat people don't seem to be vengeful. Unless, that is, one considers being turned into a goat a vengeful outcome.
Thank you for sharing this story with us. It is unique, and it certainly holds the reader's attention. We appreciate very much that you engage with other writers.
Thank you so much for rating it as an originality. Very fun. Thanks for your curation. And I hope James and Jack are fine.
