You took a great direction with the faceless child. Basically, there are all the elements of grotesque and demonic that make this a great character. In my mind, I would have liked to associate power with a childish mind, plus the fact that he may chase you but in a more slanted way and surely not under the rules of this reality. The diary replying to the old man is another brilliant idea.. I just wonder if the man will ever come back to read.
