Odd Habit: A Short Story

At the end of a nice street surrounded by beautiful homes lives a boy who is rarely seen. This is a risky story with non-graphic but disturbing violence. A darkly literary story bordering of psychological horror.

We may dream of childhood as a state of joy and innocence, but children inhabit the same world adults do. In this series of short stories, Maya Goode explores childhood with an unfiltered lens. From abuse, mental illness and suicide to first love and unending compassion.

This is a short story of 3,500 words.
