I really like the title of this one! It lured me. Evil thing.
Perfect flow and lovely, poetic language which sets a slow, yet nice pace. I'm also amazed that dialogue, which usually is used ever so freely by writers to spice up their writing wasn't needed at all; you did very well without it. (Oh how much don't I hate those who use too much of it! Please someone kill my little Shakespeare-wannabe soul).
The piece somehow makes me think of "The Alchemist" by Paolo Coelho, it somehow has the same mood so to speak.

So tragic and bittersweet yet peaceful at the same time. I just don't know how you manage to do it, weave so much into less than 700 words. Incredible. The lines "the sun waved a silent goodbye to the day..." Wonderful imagery. Death as a release, an escape. I hope that little boy has found where he belongs.
I've always admired your innate talent for description but with this piece you've truly blown me away. Such a little treasure. I feel so fortunate to have found it. You have touched my soul, and I'm sure you will touch many more in the future.
