This is a charming story, @ubani1. I really liked Justin's character development, and how he was doted on as an only child. And the mystery of the aunt was very enticing! I would have loved to know more about her, and understand how the boy's upbringing and IQ relate to what happens later in the story.

I think this story could have been a little longer, as there is so much more to know about the aunt - maybe something about the past and how it was revealed that she had a mental illness, since the only thing revealed to us within the story makes her seem quite healthy and normal. This story has a great setup for a longer piece. Those are just some thoughts for you!
