    Soooo many solutions for this town. Job lights, generators, spot lights, weapon lights, light bars on vehicles, ect. You could even have muster locations for a large crisis in the form of circular areas rimmed with powerful lights facing outward.

    Just headlights on the vans?? Light bars exist; they can be added on to make a bigger light perimeter. Why aren't the houses upgraded with heavier doors, frames, strong shutters?? Flood lights that can be powdered by solar panels that feed into capacitors? Stronger/shatter proof glass windows to make it harder to break in. It just sounds like soooo much could have been done but they exclusively rely on the task force.

    This will easily remain one of my favorites, b/c I love lanterns. They offer a degree of mystery all their own. And the illustration was compelling enough to keep staring at it - as if keeping a vigil while listening.

    Ten minutes left and I can't help but wonder why they haven't planned better. Panic rooms, emergency lighting, community-wide weapons training, strobe lighting, etc.
    Instead, they only let a small part of the community know what is going on.
    Imagine this town inhabited only by military veterans, instead of civilians.
    Instead of these options, they choose to live like this... They don't deserve to live.

  • @Fakheet
    @Fakheet Рік тому +32

    I know it's a horror story and all, but I couldn't stop thinking how easy it was to avoid this mess:
    1. Automate the lanterns. Even if they run off some magic, you can still devise a mechanism that would open and reignite the lantern when a light sensor detects that it's out. The mechanism can run off solar panels. The lanterns would still need to be looked over regularly, but at least if the go out, they would very likely be reignited again almost immediately.
    2. Why are there even civilians there in the first place? They're not "protecting" anyone by being slaughtered in the night. Relocate the residents, let the military take over the town and set up proper perimeter defense.

    I have 2 ideas: the first is that there is a flashlight that can give like 32000 lumens which would probably do some damage to the creatures for an escape. Second I remember them saying they come from beneath the earth from cracks or something so maybe try and go into one after the creatures leave to see and learn what they really are and where they come from. Great story!

    Does anybody else think that this story would make a REALLY awesome first person shooter and action video game? The creatures take multiple shots to disable so they would present various challenges for players. Boss trobus could be armored and can shoot energy bolts, requiring the player to use cover and tactical moves to engage them. Upon being neutralized, trobus and boss trobus drop coin loads, which the player can use at the base to upgrade weapons, get more items like flash grenades, and treat wounds. Upon beating the first levels, a Portal can open, allowing the player to take the fight into the creatures' own dimension. Possibilities are endless.

    @michelelyons9410 Рік тому

    Terrific and incredibly scary story! Terrifying and very well narrated!
    you need to ignore the obvious plot holes though: like if the creatures are repelled by light, why doesn't every building in town have high intensity lights on them? Why don't the people have Mag lights and hand held high intensity spot lights? Why don't street lights have high intensity lights run with dedicated generators? And why are aren't the buildings armed fortresses, with no windows, or barred windows and solid doors? Why don't the families have secure rooms, like bomb shelters? Why isn't everyone in the town armed to teeth with heavy weapons and everyone falls out to repel the attackers? Why don't they have hand grenades and other weapons----stuff like that can be obtained anywhere if you really want to get it. And why doesn't every home have generators? You can get on for a few hundred dollars. this is like a Medieval town under siege---everyone should be out fighting, not just the police soldiers. For that matter, why doesn't the town have an emergency evacuation center, armed and fortified, that people can retreat to? No one in this story seems to be really prepared to defend themselves or even to retreat to a safe, defensible place. It does not make sense if they know what is going on.
    The fact that the people know this danger exists, yet they live in regular flimsy houses, with no security protections, with no high intensity lights, no bomb shelters, no heavy weapons, no generators, and nothing but regular flashlights, is hard to explain. Yes, I understand that if they had any of this, the story would be a lot less exciting. But if you are going to plot a story like this in the modern age in the USA, you are going to have to explain things a lot better. The premise of the story is excellent and I really like it. But these people are not defending themselves like it is modern day America.
    Why don't the people have flash grenades, or even road flares? Hell, even molotov cocktails!! As much as I like the story, it bugs me that the people of the town know what is going on, but they were utterly unprepared for either defense or escape. It makes no sense. For that matter, their attitude does not make sense either: they stay to "defend" the breach where the creatures come from, but the people of the town do nothing to help each other, just leaving those attacked to their fate. Considering all they could easily have available to defend themselves with, it is just too large a plot hole.
    It might have been better if this story took place about a hundred years ago. In some isolated town in the South or West in the 1800's this scenario would make more sense. the people living then would not have been able to build fortresses, would not have the heavy powered weapons of today or high intensity lights. But basing it in the modern world, without any explanation as to why the people fail to use modern weapons and science, fails the story utterly.

    This is an okay story but theres a part of the plot that keeps on interfering with the story in my mind. If this is supposed to be a tribe of people meant to ward off these creatures in this town. They do a shitty job at it and deserve to be replaced with a military regiment. The town is basically there to save the world from these things and their homes have zero defense from them, old people live here, kids are allowed to be around the area. Honestly they should have moved the freaking town and just sent men here to patrol the place every night like they already were. Instead they build their barley protected homes right on top of group freaking zero. Its stuff like this tht makes me wanna pull my hair out when I wanna go deep into a story. its like WTF its soo freaking stupid! They dont even have the proper equipment to fight a known enemy LOL!

    Why not run the whole town like the Spartans did, encourage athletic pursuits in the whole population; raise and prepare every man, woman and child for martial pursuits (combat, strategy, leadership, etc.).
    What I'm thinking is that founders or the monsters themselves told the population they were protecting the world but it feels more like they were lambs raise for slaughter
