Change of Plans

There’s slime all over the floor.

The crib - constructed lovingly by proud parents - is dripping slime. It’s oozing between the bars.

Francis picks up the baby before she gets dirty. She’s happy, smiling, cooing - but something…

Something is wrong.

It’s nothing. She just needs changing.

So he starts to change her, but it’s messier than usual - slimy, green, and dripping… oozing… from her…

It’s coming from her.

Francis shudders and tries to pull away, but he can’t move, and the baby’s fangs are covered in blood…

* * * * *

Doyle jolts awake, sweating.
Harri murmurs in her sleep, and snuggles into him, oblivious.
