Loved this! Reminds me of a toddler I saw on the beach a couple of years ago that scared the life out of me because he had an old man's face and mannerisms and seemed to be tired of life. What's worse is that when the kid made eye contact with me, he must've seen the fear (or just morbid curiosity) in my eyes, because he suddenly burst out crying and his parents came and carried him away, apologising to me and my wife on their toddler's behalf. Man did I feel bad!
Anyway, if that kid had been old enough to speak, I'm sure he'd talk exactly like the kid in this story!

Glad you liked it. I like to go dark; even with children in the story.
