Gruesome. Creepy. Dark.
Yeah, it gets worse if it is a young single mother living alone in rambling old house…
You should write more like this. I love the dark and creepy. ; )
Dark. I do dark too. Hi! 🙂
Ah, that is great. Will pop over to check out your blog.
Brilliant…I love horror! Thanks for visiting my blog and liking. I am now following you 🙂
Thank you for this encouragemnt. Actually, horror is new to me and I started dabbling in it only a few weeks ago.
P/s Left a comment in Land of the Sappens. If it did not come through, please check your spam. Anyway this is what I said – Life’s lessons start young.
Freaky! Would you think of building this up into a short horror story?
Thank you for the suggestion – I might just do that. There are several movies/stories based on ‘demon child’ already out there, so I need ‘fresh clothing for this old body’. Let’s see how it goes.
Incidentally, another flash fiction The Guest is actually part of my next novel. You might want to check it out > http://wp.me/p1YE83-CU
The manuscript is now in final editing before submission.
Honestly, I personally preferred The Guest. So good luck on that.
Thank you. We all have our preferences. Horror flash fiction is something new for me…we’ll see how it goes.
How could someone of good nature give birth to someone as evil and as wicked as this child? That family did not know God! I can’t help wonder though, if he had been brought up in a religious way would that have made any difference?
Interesting comment Rana.
This is a flash fiction.
Dear Eric, I’m familiar with this story and I’ve seen the movie a few times. Nevertheless, this flash of fiction has roots in real life, a lot of people are wicked and have demons inside of them! Which makes me wonder: Was that the way they were raised? or are they evil from birth? On the other hand I must compliment the way you wrote this post! It’s bone chiling!
Hello Rana – There are many movies on the theme of a demon child and fact can be more chilling than fiction.
I wonder whether people are wicked – certainly demons (if within them) are. These people need help, I reckon, not condemnation. Nature and nurture (depending on one’s definition of these terms) can contribute to demonic possessions, I agree.
If you meant some people are ‘wicked per se’ – I totally agree with you. There are some real nasties out there and nothing to do with demonic possession, though they ‘behave’ like demons. And man’s laws and resolve to bring these ‘demons’ to justice are sorely wanting.
Thank you for your visit, clarification and compliment. Peace, Eric
Lost for words!! But I can see the mischievous glint in your eye from way over here!! My lovely buddy…or are you?? xxx

Left a comment in your post: Magic Pills. If you can’t locate it, here it is: “Looking at ourselves in a mirror – when there is no mirror! Perhaps instead of increasing the dosage, you just need to get out of that place…”

ooooh creepy.
Thank you Carroll – have a great weekend ahead, Eric
OMG, like Soma you are horrific and funny.
The child is a demon – yes, true. But it also says “demon’s” child – not “demon” child
As Mechanic Leigh would say – Heh! Heh! Heh!
Hello Indira – left a comment in your post Haiku – Death. I believe it is sitting in your blog spam folder. If you can’t retrieve – here is what I wrote
“Quite often, death does not come knocking does it – it springs unannounced”
Hello Eric, I did not receive your comment, now i got it, thanks for your comment and sparing time to read my post. You are right’ quite often…….several times i was a witness to it, without any warnings it strikes.
Yay! This is great. Now we can communicate easier. All good wishes, Eric 🙂
Thanks and good wishes to you too.
Should read this out to my daughter! She thinks her six year old is a monster anyway 🙂
Before you do that Madhu – please re read the title – it says “Demon’s” Child
Your daughter will not like me 🙁
agreed!
Just imagine the woman making a report:
Excuse me Mr Policeman, my six year old is a demon.
Right!
ha ha! reminds me of Damien Omen or have you seen “son of the mask” its a hilarious movie if you ignore the extreme vulgarity of the first hour or so and its regular dose thereafter.
😯 😯
omg is it me or this was meant to be a poster for population control
Eric what a stunning (literally) piece
Another great laugh 🙂
Soma dear, if I could, I would reach out and give you a great big hugz. Population control! Yes, and old Dracula works for the blood bank! I also know an old man who collects money for charity – yes, that is his girlfriend’s name – Charity!
See what you made me do. I can’t stop laughing while writing this.
Wait a minute – horrors flicks are supposed to be scary – not funny. I will never make it as a horror writer 🙂
pangs of death in form of anything…
Yes, the many faces of Death – the ultimate Chameleon
Now that’s creepy! I’m going to keep a close eye on my smiling six-year-old 🙂
Oh no, don’t – I’m sure you only mean this in jest 🙂
oh my…chills. what a thought.
Scary when it is someone we love.
P/s WP is playing up again. I rescued your comment from my spam folder. Should be okay now.
I had to laugh at your hand illustration toJasey. It brought back memories of those fun shops where we used to buy gross things like false hands which we would place in our coats to look like the real thing and then watch the horrified faces of those you shook hands with when they ended up with this dismembered limb in their hand.
Yes, now that you mentioned it Ian, I recall such party toys. What a laugh.
chilling — quandary of quandaries. The question is, what will she do to her “sweet innocent little child” ? LOL!
What indeed. Who will ever believe her…They’ll probably lock her away in a nut-house. Question: Can the white washed walls keep ‘sweet innocent’ out…
In spite of appearances, ultimately the true nature reveals itself.
Whoa! What lurks behind those baby blue eyes is a nasty little cherub! Methinks it’s time for mama to run away from home…:)
Mummy, don’t leave me behind! Please mummy, don’t! I love you mummy…I love you. Don’t leave. I really…really love you. Heh! Heh! Heh!
Wicked child!
Heh! Heh! Heh!
yikes — do I need silver bullets or a wooden stake?
I don’t know why, but I burst out laughing when I saw your comment – thank you, I really needed a good laugh today 🙂
Throw in some holy water too and you’ll be alright, I reckon.
This is horrid, we can no longer be sure who is sitting next to us, a human or a demon or an alien. Sometimes the word expressed by a person is scarrier than the action itself.
Yes, it is like a guy who says, “Here, let me give you a hand”. You grab his hand and pull yourself up – he is gone. But you’re holding his hand!
