I enjoyed this piece because it gave me that Alice in Wonderland kind of feel. A child in a strange world that follows the directions of things/people they don't know just to end up sleeping, in this case, their bed. I admired that the instructions weren't always concrete on what the child was to do like "...and feed his clam chowder if you have any.." The "if you have any" made it seem as though even if you are being told what to do you are still given chances to decide what you want to do.
I would suggest being more specific, especially in places that you can have fun with the writing, like "the wicked things that eat children". What do they look like? How do they act? I would love to see how they are described. Very nice work!
Thanks for the comment. I had fun with this piece, and will continue to work on it. I agree that there can be more specificity; I will address that on my next revision.
