Starting point is 00:00:01 My partner and I have barely been sleeping these past few weeks. It happens late at night after we drift off into unconsciousness. A loud scream echoes from down the hallway. We awake. Both of us gruggily decide on whose turn it is to get up and take care of our baby. Every night our baby girl would cry her little heart out to us. Sometimes it'll be a couple of times and other moments it seems like she'd never sleep again. One night, it was my turn to take care of her. I checked my phone to see that it was

Starting point is 00:00:39 just before 1 a.m. My eyes felt puffy, my back was aching, and my head throbbed as I entered the nursery. I lifted her up from the crib. My light shushes were easily drowned out by her cries. I cradled her and lightly bounced her. My knees and shoulders began to burn after a few long minutes. I set her down for a moment to prepare a bottle of formula for her, but she began to cry even harder. I could hear my partner from the other room asking me if things were okay. I assured them that things were just fine as I made a mess of the water and formula powder. I rushed back to the nursery, and of course she wouldn't take the bottle. You sure you're okay? My partner called out to me. I'm fine, I started to respond until I dropped the bottle onto my foot. I held back a groan,

Starting point is 00:01:35 and I composed myself, we're fine, just, just fine. I try to help out with a baby as much as I can, but I work as my partner takes the brunt of parental duties by staying home. I wanted them to rest as much as possible, so I try my best to do the very least to make sure that the baby gets back to sleep. I checked my phone to see the time. 1.17 a.m. At this rate, I doubt anyone would get any rest, so I decided to pack her into her car seat

Starting point is 00:02:09 and go on a quick drive in hopes that it would put her to sleep. I placed the car seat into the spot behind the driver's seat and hopped into my Ford Focus. The baby's cries had shifted to light whimpers, and I was sure that I made the right choice. I turned the engine on and pulled out to the driveway of our little home. I connected my phone to the Bluetooth of my car and played light nursery songs. I aimlessly drove around as the lights throwing from behind me began to cease.

Starting point is 00:02:41 We live just on the outside of the city. For miles there's nothing but trees. Trees and more trees. I travel around these roads every day, but with barely any light aside for my car's headlights, The current path made me feel a bit uneasy. I looked at my car's clock and saw that it was 1.48 a.m. I've been driving for about 15 minutes or so.

Starting point is 00:03:08 I hadn't heard a peep from the baby in a while, so I decided it was safe to turn around and return home. It was a long stretch of road, and I'd been travelling straight this whole time. So I simply slowed down to make a U-turn to go back home. I turned the steering wheel to the left, and the sound of the ties on the pavement cracked underneath me. I thought I could make it easily, but my car ended up going off the road a bit. I heard a thud, followed by a loud snap.

Starting point is 00:03:42 I must have hit something. I cursed under my breath. I pressed on the brakes and shifted my car to park to see what I had hit. I got out and walked around to see that I had simply struck a few tweaks. I was thankful that it was just some scraps of wood and no damage was done. I stood outside for a second. It's the beginning of summer, but the night air felt cold on my skin. The road was silent, aside the light beeping from my car,

Starting point is 00:04:13 alerting me that the door was left ajar. I was surprised the baby didn't wake up with all of the noise, but I let that thought slip away as I got back into the car. I pulled back, embarrassed at my poor driving skills. Glancing back at my rearview mirror, I saw my real lights illuminated. A figure in dark red. In the reflection, I swore I saw a person right behind my car. I slammed onto the brakes and yelled,

Starting point is 00:04:45 Damn! My body jerked a bit, causing me to lose visual at what was behind me. I turned around completely to see. Nothing. Just the woods and the faint red light of my car. The baby began to stir, and sure enough, she started to cry. I pinched the bridge of my nose and rubbed my eyes. I was sure the lack of sleep was getting to me. I continued to back up and finally completed my failed U-turn,

Starting point is 00:05:17 all while shushing my daughter. My heart was racing a bit. I was sure that I had seen something, rather someone behind me for a moment. My daughter's cries began to get louder and my ears started to ring. Shh, shh, it's okay, baby, just fall back to sleep. Please, I pleaded to her. Of course, this was a foolish thing to ask. I turned up the volume to the white noise I had been playing.

Starting point is 00:05:48 I don't know what I was hoping for, that the sound would actually lull to sleep or to drown out the shrill cries. Taking a deep breath, I continued my drive, thinking that the baby would fall back asleep on the way. I kept going with the baby's cries seeing as infinite as the road ahead of me. Like of sleep was starting to get to me. My eyelids felt like they were weighed down with cinder blocks. I opened my mouth wide to let out a yawn,

Starting point is 00:06:17 but I heard something that caused me to start. choke it down. Shhh, in my back seat, a light shushing could be heard. It sounded high-pitched like a child. I thought at first it was simply something playing on my phone, until I heard a childlike humming of Rockabai Baby alongside the white noise from my car stereo, and I could clearly hear the humming coming from behind me. I glanced in the rearview mirror, but I couldn't see anything aside from the road

Starting point is 00:06:54 behind me. I thought I was hallucinating the noise, even turning off the car stereo, but the humming of the lullaby was loud and clear. I whipped my head around to look towards the backseat, afraid to take my eyes off the road, but even more afraid of what was behind me. I turned my head and locked eyes with what looked like a young boy. He looked like he was probably five years old with short black hair. And he was staring back at me with wide, milky white eyes. He was wearing what looked like tattered red pajamas and his skin was pale with gashes all over. I was about to let her to scream until I felt something cold grabbed my head and forcibly twist my gaze back towards the road. I slammed my foot onto the brake, the car screeching

Starting point is 00:07:45 to a halt. All I could see was the road ahead. But, in the corner of my vision, I could see long, thin fingers. A woman's voice whispered into my ear. My baby, my baby, give me back my baby. The words sent chills down my neck and froze my spine. The fingers lifted off from my face, and the child's humming stopped abruptly. I just sat there with my foot on the brake like a lead weight. It was silent for a moment,

Starting point is 00:08:19 until I led out a shaky breath. I couldn't comprehend what had just happened until it finally hit me. The car was eerily quiet, so quiet despite all that had happened. I rushed out of the car and opened the door to the back seat. My heart dropped to unfathomable depths

Starting point is 00:08:40 at the sight of an empty car seat. I pulled out the baby's car seat and frantically lifted the blanket I placed with her. The car seat was empty, and my daughter was gone. I went through every knuck and cranny of my car like a crazed person. I was undoubtedly alone. I felt waves of fear and anxiety slam into my chest.

Starting point is 00:09:08 I snatched my phone out of my pocket and quickly called my partner. The phone rang and rang and rang, until they finally picked up. The groggy voice called out "' Babe, what?' I got them off and shouted into the phone. They're gone. I don't know what happened, but they're gone.' The tired tone shifted to alertness, and they asked,

Starting point is 00:09:32 "'What do you mean? Who you're talking about? Where's the baby?' Tears began to burst out of my eyes, and I cried, "'I'm sorry, I don't know what happened. They took her.' My partner shouted at me. What are you talking about?

Starting point is 00:09:49 Before I could say another word, I heard the childlike shushing again. My partner's voice kept calling out to me, but I dropped my arm to my sides and turned towards the sound of the shushing. In front of the car, illuminated by the headlights, with a little boy, and beside him was a woman with long brunette hair. The woman was wearing a white nightgown that was splattered with crimson. Her legs were bent in an orchard stance And a brunette hair flowed down to her chest Her head was turned down to something cradled in her arms Her hair draped over it like a curtain

Starting point is 00:10:28 I heard the light whimpering of my baby in the woman's arms And cautiously I stepped towards them The woman was whispering something And as I got closer I could make out what she was saying My baby, my baby, I finally have my baby. When I got close, the boy snapped his head towards me and opened his mouth. Dark red began to pour out and tears streamed down his white eyes.

Starting point is 00:11:01 The boy began to step towards me, blood splattering all over the road and onto his torn red pajamas. He outstreet his hands towards me and I fearfully took a step back. Please, that's my baby. She's not yours. Give her back, I pleaded. My daughter began to cry in the woman's arms. Her screams echoing all around us. I turned back towards the woman and begged for my baby back.

Starting point is 00:11:28 No, no, no, no, no, no. She's mine. The woman hissed. She lifted her head up to face me, and I let out a yelp to what I saw. Underneath the woman's hair, It was nothing. She had no face.

Starting point is 00:11:45 All that was left was a concave, bloody mess. It was as if something had smashed the facing completely, but despite that, I could hear her cries loud and clear. My baby, my baby! My daughter was crying in her arms, and I felt helpless. I mustered up the courage to move forward, but the boy latched onto my leg. His grip was tight on me, and I could feel a burning cold emanating from him.

Starting point is 00:12:16 I felt my body crash hard onto the pavement. I weakly lifted my head up to see the woman looking down at me. Please, she's not yours. That's my daughter, I yelled out with all of my might. We stared at each other for a long moment, and the woman looked back towards my baby. After a few seconds, she started to walk away from me. I panicked and picked my. my body up to turn around. Again, I was left all alone. Where the hell are you? I could hear my partner's

Starting point is 00:12:49 voice from my cell phone. I slowly lifting myself up and picked up my phone. I was filled with fear, confusion and regret about what had just happened. I was prepared to tell my partner that our baby was definitely gone until I heard a giggle from the back seat of my car. I rushed over to see that my daughter was safe and sound in a car seat. I'll tell you when I get back, I told my partner over the phone and quickly got the hell out of there. After the long drive, I finally got home. My daughter and I back in one piece.

Starting point is 00:13:32 I explained what had happened to my partner, and they tried to chalk it up to a lack of sleep or something. But after that night, I couldn't let the memory of the events fade away. On my way to work, I would go down that road, that road that I traveled up and down countless times. The memory of that infinitely dark road, the images of the blooded boy and the woman were just surreal thoughts, I suppose.

Starting point is 00:13:59 I was driving to work one morning when I saw a young woman in the 20s parked at the side of the road. I slowed down a bit to see what she was doing, and I saw that she was sitting up some pieces of wood. Something clicked in my brain and I parked my car next to hers. Hey, having some issues? I called out to her. She looked up at me with sad green eyes beneath the long brown hair.

Starting point is 00:14:28 Oh, it's fine, just some ass I'll knock this down. I looked at her feet to see she was setting up a wooden cross on the side of the road. What's all this? I asked. The woman didn't look back at me and continued setting up the wooden cross. Just something for my mom and brother. She proceeded to tell me that her mom and dad had issues when she was pregnant with her. The dad had skipped out on them,

Starting point is 00:14:56 so when the time came and her mom's water broke, she rushed herself to the hospital with a son in tow. They got into an accident and crashed onto the side of the road. Miraculously, the baby had survived. and here she was. The woman finished the cross and nowed a picture in the centre of it. She didn't say another word as she got back into a car and drove away. I stepped towards the cross to see the smiling face of a young boy with red pyjamas and his pregnant mother.

Starting point is 00:15:31 They both were so excited to meet their baby girl and they wanted to be with her so badly. I sat in my car for a moment. and cried, I will never forget that drive.
