11 Child custody
Penny went under the shrub to rescue a kitten, but
this wasn't a kitten.
What welcomed her was a petite young boy. He looked a little gaunt and pale, but his eyes were brooding as if he were the grim reaper himself.
"What are you?"
"What are you?"
They asked in unison, but Penny was most taken aback because his low-pitched voice didn't match his sickly appearance. He frowned while her brows rose. Before she could say anything, she heard a soft 'meow' from somewhere. Averting her eyes, she caught a small and frail kitten coming from his other side. "Oh." Her lips formed an o-shape. "There's the kitten."
A big smile appeared on her face as she looked up at the boy. "I thought you were."

that her nose looked pink. He bit his tongue, knowing whatever he was about to say was rude.
"It looks hungry and... oh, it has a company?" Curiosity was seen in her eyes as she stared at the cute rain frog.
Seeing this, the boy looked at the cat and froze.
"A rain frog?" she mumbled. "I didn't know there's some in here."
Penny glanced at the boy, only to furrow her brows upon seeing the horrified look on his face. Earlier, this guy had already looked sickly, but now it seemed he was about to go into the light!
"Kitty, are you okay?" she asked, watching him twist his neck like a rusting robot. The moment they were face to face, Penny panicked. "Are you dying?!"
"He help."
"Help?" Penny was about to summon her superhuman strength and carry him, but then, noticed the frog coming closer to him. His face stiffened even more, and he was holding his breath until his neck turned
taut.
