You’re an amazing writer! Genuinely would have believed this was by a published author. Brilliant sense of atmosphere and just the right length for a little horror story. Were you inspired by the film Weapons at all? I got similar vibes - the child being entranced by something evil (plus terrifying smile) luring them in for their own benefit to take a portion of their innocence and the caregivers around them being put into some sort of stupor. Even the mention of soup haha. It felt a bit like a scene from the same universe!
Ah bless you, that’s very kind! And thanks so much for reading :) That wasn’t a conscious inspiration but now you mention it, might have played a role haha.
