Talk:Why Are They Hiding?/@comment-25021327-20150618131452

I thought that this was a pretty good read. Initially I felt like it was a little silly, or forced, ticking off descriptions of creepypasta antagonists among other legends. But I'm a big fan of cryptids, unsolved mysteries and things hiding in plain sight, so this had my attention from early on.

The hook of this one, accepting that there really are things-that-go-bump-in-the-night, and then asking the question about why they aren't out and about having a grand old time in broad daylight since we can't do much to stop them is interesting to me. I've seen it explained in other ways before, things that shun the dayight, or feed on feed, but I don't remember ever reading anything implying that they are not hiding from us, but from some predator.

The descriptions had me thinking about Lovecraftian Elder Beasts that really don't care about us, but have a taste for the things that we call monsters. For me It provoked thoughts of an enitre system of predator and prey that is so far beyond human coneption that we ignore it. And that was a kid of cool though.

So I enjoyed this one. Most of the writing appealed to me, and what didn't was overshadowed by the intrigue of the theory being presented. Plus this was a quick read, which is nice. I liked it :)
