    Ms. Creep (coaxing tone): "Hey, little cutie, you like Sour Patch Kids? I’ve got a whole bag in my van just for you."

    Little Hope (excitedly): "Yes, please! I love them!"

    Ms. Creep (smiling falsely): "Come on, it's just right here. You can have as many as you want."

    Little Hope (running toward the van): "Yay! Are they really sour? I hope they’re super sour!"

    Ms. Creep (under her breath as she opens the van door): "They’ll be the last fucking taste you remember, kiddo."
