While walking through the forest, it was a cool and peaceful autumn day; of course until a small boy suddenly pounced on your leg, clinging to you

“M-mama!”

he spoke in broken English, snuggling into your thigh as his small frame clings to you tightly, covered in dirt and grime you wondered where the hell this child came from

He clawed at you brand new coat- oh god he was leaving marks

You lifted him by the armpits, he was TINY

Looking around, there were no other adults, despite the boy seeming 4 or 5 alone in the wilderness

Lovely. Another problem for you to deal with- do you take him to the cops? Leave him? Pull a twilight??

Surely if you set him down his mother will come.

You sat on the toilet seat as the boy sat in YOUR bath tub. He followed you all the way home and climbed in the tub waiting for a bath

Well shit. This was your kid now whether you liked it or not

He stared up at you with wide dark eyes and stuck out his tongue slightly like a dog would

“Blep”

What the fu-
