These are just some quick notes. I love the story and the full circle, its a blast. There are a few things I would point out below. Otherwise keep it up, its great. Take everything I say with a grain of salt and don't think you have to change anything just because I suggest, I may not know what Im talking about either.

She’s always despised slimy creatures like squids and octopuses.
I think you can remove the "like squids and octopuses." I see your trying to set up the coming revelation, but I think it may be to revealing and take away from the tension.

Quote:
While struggling to break free, a dim light shines on the creature.
From where? Just a suggestion but giving a source for the light helps the reader know what we are seeing.

The creature’s moan is deafening. Yvonne’s ears ring afterwards and now she sees the creature opening its mouth. It drools and pulls her quickly. She yells, “No! No! Wait!!!”
This may be a good place to add some description of the mouth. Make it intense and scary but realistic.

Maybe drop the "five year old". Upon opening a door and catching something shocking, she probably wouldn't be assessing age.

Quote:
One of the kids chews off his penis and blood squirts in all directions.
This doesn't bother me, as I love gore. But it would be considered to much if you ever tried to send it in to contests or get it put in an anthology. Just a heads up.
