Excellent story, Lizzie! I love your ability to mix the mysterious with the tragically mundane, and the child's perspective here was rendered brilliantly.

Tender and heartbreaking and too scary for me but I will bravely await your next one thank you Lizzie

Sometimes I read a child's POV and it's either too dumbed down or super annoying, but you did a really great job here with the little girl's POV. The little girl's naivety juxtaposed against the unknown tension was really nice.

Yay! That feels good to hear. Thank you, Erichka. This was my 1st first-person POV story, so I’m glad it worked for you :))
