This is deliciously good, @blueeyes8960. Just about every culture has a tradition of the hidden ones--a leprechaun, gremlin, or el duende. Your story fits perfectly that model and we can all relate to the hidden ones on the other side working mischief on humans. Your depiction of the human child and his family is relatable. Nobody likes that father, however, with his threatening belt.

Very nicely executed bit of fancy. A good (and necessary) escape for all of us. Thank you for sharing, @blueeyes8960
