WOOO!
So smooth, so much attention to detail. Wow. There must be hours upon hours upon hours of work in this series, and whether there are or aren't, you are supremely talented. A person with a lot of experience doing flash can create something good, but you have to have that... certain something, that element of style, to create something like this.
I was genuinely scared. That's NEVER happened with something like this. It worked. The story your father told you was genuinely terrifying while at the same time, *very, very, funny* -- I mean, isn't it?
The kid is running and running in terror, and the guy is running behind him, scared out of HIS wits, wondering what frightening thing the KID saw!! And then HE reassures the kid that he's got it under control because of his KNIFE.. the very object that is causing the poor kid to have the terrors.
You know the old saw.. you can't judge a book by it's cover... but in this case, the guy ACTS like a nut, scaring cars away while "trying to get a ride" -- wild hair, big knife, scary stories.. it's really very funny, I laughed out loud at the situation.. which I wouldn't have been able to do if I didn't already know it was a true story.. and since the kid is your father, he obviously lived to tell the tale, so I knew it worked out.. and that allowed me to laugh at the funny parts.
Only ONE HUGE PROBLEM... WHAT HAPPENS?? What the devil happens? It ends, but you didn't tell us how exactly it ended between those two? Did they get a ride? Did the kid (your dad) get away? What happened? WE NEED TO KNOW!!
You can't get us all riveted in a story and not tell us the ending!
Oh, and you surely deserve 1st place.. this is a rare entry, well done, stylish, smooth, with nothing wrong, the sound was good, the dialogue sync was excellent.. the animation was terrific.. Wow, wow, wow, and tell us what happened since you told the story so well, we're all so INVESTED in wanting and needing to know how it resolved! 10/10
