A woman deals with grief of having a miscarriage, and develops a strange attachment with shadow children in an old farm house

 The town harbored a dark secret, but there were no signs on the surface of it. All the adults seemed oblivious, as if they had no idea that there was something strange going on around them. They lived their lives in the usual boring fashion that adults tend to, going about work and social events and hating every minute of both. My father took this as a good sign that things were stable there, and soon enough, he had joined the others in their blissful ignorance. 

While their parents were clueless, the children seemed to be in the know. I first noticed that something was off when I met a kid named Lucas.
