I was halfway thru writing today’s flash fiction and realized I was treading on some familiar territory: Creepy Kids
But I don’t hate kids, I swear! I just have encountered some neighborhood kids that said or did things that immediately gave me the creeps. When a kid says “Let me show you something!” and gestures toward the woods, I just turn around and run away. “Watch this!” over and over, and in my head, these kids are about to Dan Ackroyd me with some demonic transformation.
We actually had some kids start to follow us home, and yes, they may have been the inspiration for this one. Thankfully they eventually turned around, but not without dropping one last scary line:
“We’ll see you later! Now that we know where you live…”
Anyway, check out this morning’s flash fiction, a creepy kid tale featuring a snobby house flipper couple. Kids, I don’t hate. House flippers, on the other hand…
