The one we fear

This is my first creepy pasta that I have posted on this website and I would really like to know what criticism you have for this story as I feel like it would really help me write better stories as well as improve my writing on 2 other stories I am working on.

My name is Gary Helmont. I live a rural town in south Alabama with my two friends, Rey Southerhorn and Jace Wilson. Our town has a history of having mysterious cases of murders and disappearances by something that is only know by the townsfolk as " The one we fear " Search parties have been launched, none have been successful, with some even losing a few members to this entity.

It was just a normal Saturday for me, running downstairs to fry some eggs and bacon then sit back and watch whatever's interesting on the tv. The news came on when I turned on the TV. I sighed " another two people reported missing " People went missing so often that it had stopped having much of an affect on me. I had promised Rey that I would come over to his house to help him with a project he is working on.
