The Little Boy and the Beast

»When your Mum has turned into a beast, a lot of things change.«

A little boy tells about the time when his mother has become sad and disgruntled, in short: a beast. Having a beast as your mother does have its advantages, though: For instance, it’s easier to sneak in some sweets at the supermarket checkout. At night, the beast slips into his bed, which is very comfy. But also cramped. With sparse sentences, the little boy tells how the heart-rending and adorable beast slowly reverts back to being his mum.
