This is so perfectly descriptive of hot sticky Florida swamp, and creepier than creepy! I love it! , the horrible pungent smell of Granny’s from, like sweet fruit rotting under the tree” that sentence describes the whole story!!

I watched a video a long time ago where a man was eating ribs. After every bite, he'd slam his fist on the table, or stomp his feet, and look to the sky as if thanking god for something so good. That's what reading this was like. Every paragraph was a bite of the divine ribs.

when the narrator clocks that Granny is gone and not just dead, ah, so good. You built that reveal so lopro I almost missed it. Also, the folding cot is pretty neat at making the horror "homely"
