Exciting Flash story!! You really took great advantage of the story prompt. It's a very interesting twist writing from the perspective of the baby thief. I wasn't completely sure if it was a Goblin or some other type of demon / monster. Goblins are famous for doing this (i.e. in the movie Labyrinth and more recently Dr. Who) though probably others do it as well. The fact that that the creature had wings that goblins aren't made it all the more menacing. You did some great incorporation of changeling lore and mythic elements in your story with the replacement with wood and the vulnerability the creature had to Iron.

I really like the slow build (considering it is a Flash story) where it starts normally and the third sentence shifts the tone leading more and more into the fact that were are dealing with a monster. Great work!!
