Clever idea, in need of polishing

The Creature of the Forest is a cute short story about a timid professor who is suddenly inspired to try to find mythical creatures around the world. In this short, Fred Cross travels to Portugal to track down Twigman. Unfortunately, it reads like a first draft with inconsistent tenses, typos, and some odd phrasing. It’s a clever idea for a series of short stories, but it could use some polishing from its current state.
