First a bird joke. I love hummingbirds. So here goes... Q: Why do hummingbirds hum? A: Because they don’t know the words.

Brrr... what a creepy little haiku this is; so few words, but such a chilling image. Very well-written (I'd expect nothing less from you), but so different from your usual fare. Congrats on a well-deserved win.

This kind of freaked me out, mainly because I wasn't expecting that based from your title-- blast those child predators! Very twist-ed but also I liked the effect, kind of being really getting caught of guard with this write-- ok, have to go now, just me saying hi and sending hugs sweetie!

Wow! Scary. Reading this feels like one is watching as something evil unfolds and being unable to move and stop it.
