Born Bad

In a dark copse of trees, in the shadow of the city skyline, the fae hand a changeling child to an unsuspecting woman. Or so they think. When a human woman wants a child, and can't have one by natural means, the fae have always been happy to provide. The world has changed, but their bargains haven't. And a fae bargain is never fair. They promise human children, and deliver... something else. But this woman is different.
This woman knows their tricks. And she was never after a human baby. She has a plan for her changeling child. This short story is 2, 800 words long. It is also available in Devil's Bargains, a short story collection.
