Once upon a time in a colorful town, there was a girl named Barbra who had a very unusual birthday. Every year, on her special day, Barbra would turn into a candy-loving monster!
A big, sparkling third eye would pop up on her forehead, and it would make her crave sugary treats more than anything. The problem was, she could never remember any of this the next day.
Barbra’s parents were quite different from her. They used her birthday as an opportunity to do very bad things, but nobody in town knew this.
This year, Barbra was turning sixteen, and her parents wanted to make it the biggest, sweetest party ever. They planned a huge celebration and invited the whole town to their house. To make it extra special, they asked everyone to come dressed as candy!
The townspeople were excited and prepared their best candy costumes. When the day arrived, Barbra’s parents decorated their house with delicious-looking sweets and made the whole place smell like candy. The scent was so strong, it coated everything in the house!
When the guests started arriving, Barbra’s third eye popped out with a twinkle, and she felt a powerful craving for candy. But this craving wasn’t for the sugary treats in the house—it was for the guests themselves! The eye made her see the guests as giant, colorful candies.
One by one, Barbra gobbled up the guests, thinking they were candy. Her parents watched, delighted with the chaos.
However, there was one brave boy who refused to wear a candy costume. Terrified of what was happening, he hid behind the curtains, hoping not to be noticed. He stayed hidden until the family went to bed.
When morning came, Barbra’s family packed their bags and disappeared from town, never to be seen again. The boy was left alone, and because he didn’t know how to survive on his own, he had to find a way to get by.
He began eating the candy that was still in the house, and eventually, the remains of those who had been taken.
The town was left empty and silent, and the boy all alone thanks to the Candy Girl and her family.
