God, the brat was ugly.

Brad didn't know what he'd been expecting, but it wasn't this... this.. squinty little thing with skin either wormy white or blood red, depending on whether it was screaming. What few hairs it had were red, like its bitch mother, and stood away from its head like a rooster's comb. It was toothless and smelly and threw up all the time-- it revolted him.

For fuck's sake, the brat didn't even smile yet.

"Isn't she beautiful?" Gail cooed, cradling the brat like it was something precious.

As if he didn't already know she was psychotic.
