Yup, pretty scary but still an interesting story. I enjoyed every bit of it. That Sisyphus punishment is the worst: "The Devil roared in laughter and warned me, "Forever you must shadow the demon you loosed on the Earth, always protecting him, and never, ever allowing any harm to come to him. Should you fail you will be fed to the gnashing, swirling demons around you. Suffering their same fate!"

Hi there,
I like the way you open your story. The idea of having )baby teeth( takes on a whole new meaning. ...so does tongue-in-cheek. Like the image o

Great job Bret. Your story stylistically reminded me Tales from the Crypt because of the humor and the sheer terror that you put into this tale. Was very entertained and invested with your insidious infant and your reporter's time in Hell with the devil. Well done.

Well, I don't know how many little kiddies would sleep after reading this as a bedtime story, as there are some pretty intense visions created for even an old dude like me. But it's fun. Thanks for sharing. Wish I had a six.

Being a first grade teacher I am pretty positive this should not be read to or told to young children. I did, however enjoy reading it. You told a very convincing nightmare. Thank you for re-posting.

This delightful children's tale, Devil Spawn, would make me want to drink COFFINated beverages to stay awake. That's one mean baby, a worst afterlife occupation.

Hi Brett, it's not exactly what I would call a night story for small kids.LOL. I think it would leave them with pretty bad nightmares. I loved the story. It's well written. Ulla:)))

Well, not exactly the 'harmless little bedtime story' told to kids to 'teach' a lesson here, Brett - LOL! Definitely one for the Cryptkeeper late on a Saturday night! ;) Thanx for sharing, sir! ;) Yvette

I enjoyed reading your horror tale, you did a great job creating an interesting character and a suspenseful plot. I am not an expert story writer but I don't find anything wrong with the story . Good job!
