Narrate a tale of a child who can see malevolent creatures the adults cannot.

This prompt delivers a horrifying dichotomy of a child’s innocent world colliding with a terrifying reality. Explore these themes of innocence versus horror, childlike imagination versus adult skepticism. Also, raise questions of belief and distrust such as: What if the harms we seek to shield children from are the ones only they can see? How does the child deal with their reality knowing they’ll not be believed?
