Thanks to all the other people who did a horror short!

Beware the siren.

I woke up to a loud siren.  'there's No fire engines in seven devils I should go back to sleep' But for some reason I couldn't then it struck me  'the creature... Is real!? Y.. Yes it is Mia yes it is.. Said a mysterious voice Behind the screams of the townspeople Running away from the beastly creature But I had to wake my older sister up So I pretty much ran back into the watch tower ignoring the boy  but his voice still lurked in my head  almost like my head was haunted..And it kind of was.. Anyways I woke up my sister to the Everday ''UGHHH what is it''    'No time to explain  Just Get down from the tower  NOW so she did surprisingly Then she saw it and grabbed a bat but it didn't seem to care then grabbed her... Then ate her And a few other humans.. BUT NOT ME!  It picked me up The noise was loud and I could see just 80 teeth up there and of  course this is the part of the story where you think Oh nO mIa iS gOinG tO diE!!! But nope this was the perfect time because I do have an extremely long rope so I struggled out of its grip and so I used my rope as a lasso and caught its feet. I ....I saved a town....  I said. Yes you did mia the voice said but then it took of the cloak.   GRANDPA!??!?

Yes it is me You have defeated a deadly cryptid be proud cinnamon bun.. Said grandpa  come on don't call me that! And ho- always told you to believe in ghosts.   who knows SIREN HEAD could lurk in a forest near YOU MWAHhahaha the end.

You are a good writer, and I do like the story. If I don't seem too nitpicky, I'd like to give some tips on formatting, since this is a little hard to read.

First off, paragraphs. This is more important than you think. While indenting on here, I have no idea how to do it, not without copy-pasting at least. But to create paragraphs, it's just enter/return. Stories have a new paragraph whenever you either change the time (ie, "A few hours later..."), place (ie, "At Stacy's house...", speaker (ie, when you have a conversation, after one person has said whatever, and someone else is speaking, you need a new paragraph), or when you change the topic (ie, you go from talking about someone's fear to their current actions). TPST, however, there are other acronyms. Whenever one of those occur, you need a new paragraph. It will keep it organized and can help the reader distinguish different speakers. Also, you should never have "blah blah blah" "blah blah blah", you should have either a speaker tag (ie, Alexie said,) or you should start a new paragraph to show someone else speaking.

Second, I'm not sure why you have words in just apostrophes. (single quotation marks). I've seen some people use them to show somebody thinking, and I think you were going for that. To show someone thinking, try italics instead. It's a more professionally used way to show thought, and more clear. On KidzTalk, it's just the "I" button on the top, or ctrl + I. I also recommend using italics for emphasis too. italics are used more commonly in books to express emotion rather than all caps. And in books, only one exclamation point is needed. For "!?!?!?!?!?!!?", try just "!?" instead, and rather than focus on using punctuation to show emotion, try using your words to show how emotional someone is.

 

Otherwise, not bad. Try using these though, it will make your story easier to read, and it will look more professionally presented.
