Story Idea: Curses
Added 2023-08-11 00:58:14 +0000 UTCA woman and her nephew are born with a curse called the demon’s smile. They have super sharp teeth, creepy smiles, and they smile involuntarily, especially during moments of strong emotions. The woman took in her nephew due to a tragic accident and because the boy’s grandmother wanted nothing to do with him. The two live life as best they can, she teaches him to be strong. Finally she gets a job in the mansion of a very rich man. Her cooking skills impressed him so he hired her on as his personal chef. He’s a shut in who has also been cursed and has been transformed into a horrible monster. The nephew manages to bond with him, as both deal with their appearances being judged and mocked. Auntie and monster clash a lot but she appreciates how he’s helping her nephew.
What do y’all think?

This feels like a "one in each generation" kind of thing
