Mommy, It's Smiling

Seven-year-old Norla insists that something grabbed her in the hallway, but the adults around her write it off as a trip or an overactive imagination. When she sketches the face she saw, a frozen smile stretching from ear to ear, other children start drawing the very same thing. Grown-ups dismiss the pictures as a bad influence and scrub them away, and the creature seems to grow stronger with every denial. As the neighborhood fills with strange, smiling figures, the children are left to face the danger on their own.
