The Stolen Child

Henry Day = Aniday?

Who still believes in fairy tales, goblins, elves and such?
This story is about a hobgoblin community who steals a child and swapped themselves to be the child and lives the life forever, where the child becomes the hobgoblin.

Henry Day was swapped with a hobgoblin when he was 7 years old. From then on, the hobgoblin continued his life. However, the past of the hobgoblin continued to surge as he started to play the piano like a professional. The new Henry Day cannot let go of his past and continued to search for his past, where he found out that he was a German boy in the 1800s and was swapped by another hobgoblin when he was five years old.
