This was a great story. Kinda creepy. Reminds me of a story I wrote about a kid who goes to visit his grandmother and finds out she is a Robot alien/guardian from another planet. No one dies in mine though. I liked it...three magazines I sent it to did not. What to do.
Old people are sometimes creepy--especially to kids. My stepmother's "Gramma" was a itty bitty Ukrainian lady with sunken eyes, no teeth, and fine hairs sprouting from her face. She didn't speak any English and yes she wanted to hug and plant hairy kisses on both cheeks. She wasn't a witch but an angel who made Pierogi (think of a Chinese dumpling but with potatoes or sour kraut). Yum!
