That was a really interesting caption. More of a vignette attached to an image. I liked your choice of image and the story idea but the font choice is kinda hard to read. Great first caption ^^

I've actually considered posting for a whole day. ^_^; Well, not the entire time, but throughout it here and there.

Anyway, if there's one thing I do, it's being honest; if there's one thing I don't do, that's lying. Instead of just saying "yay" like most do even when they can tone it down (at least), I'm going to show you that you have room to grow and improve. So, please don't take my criticism the wrong way.

I can handle the small text, personally, but since alot of others can't, I guess larger text would make a difference. You need to work on your punctuation first and foremost, especially with as much as you wrote. Your spelling was fine. ~.^ This is my personal opinion: being as long as it was, I feel you could have explained or hinted at the uncle's behavior, among other things (since the story seemed to progress in one direction with the bare minimal details being given). It's like events just happened with a shrug of a shoulder until the transformation (which you focused on most of all).

Work on that punctuation, okay? How you write your stories/captions is your style, so it'll grow the more you read and write. The story was good overall, but I didn't "feel" anything until the end, if you know what I mean. Finally, don't let this discourage you. You should have seen me a few years back when I started writing. *Remembers her first story and dies from embarrassment* @.@
