-Child, don't you dare look at me like that!
-Father, you should know by now that we don't stop.
-Child, I warn you. Daughter or no daughter, I'll have your blood.
-Come on and try.
The body was found later that week, blood everywhere. He was a
man in his early 30s. The location of the wounds would suggest he
was killed by a small person with a knife.
The apparent size of such person is consistent with the 4 year
old missing daughter.
Now I'm afraid of angry small children. Are they safer when they're tweens?
ReplyDeleteI like this. Keep up this awesome writing. It totally took me by surprise when I first read it and on a second reading, it's still awesome.
This was... scary. Which makes it good. Simple, to-the-point and it leaves you with all facts but no real meaning - you have to figure it all out yourself... GREAT job! :)
ReplyDeleteVery Twilight Zone. The 'we don't stop' comment makes me picture little zombie kids with red staring eyes.
