[00:14.60]The Baby In My House
[00:27.95]我房中的婴儿
[00:41.69]As I got closer to it, I noticed it was a little rattle¹,
[00:46.03]the kind little babies had. It didn't look new,
[00:49.65]so it couldn't have been something
[00:51.19]my mom bought for her future grandchild.
[00:54.33]It looked old, used.
[00:56.68]And it looked exactly like the one the baby
[00:58.94]had been playing with.
[01:01.23]How did it get there?
[01:03.41]I ran with the rattle to the living room,
[01:06.19]and showed everyone.
[01:08.37]They told me it was nothing,
[01:10.25]although I could see fear in my mother's eyes again.
[01:13.93]That night we all went to sleep uneasy².
[01:17.43]Somewhere around midnight, I awoke,
[01:19.96]a sound tingling³ in my ears.
[01:22.81]I sat up, trying my best to hear. It was a baby crying.
[01:27.50]I broke out in a cold sweat.
[01:30.14]My breathing quickened, and I felt my heart beating faster.
[01:34.87]I got out of bed,
[01:36.08]and moved to my mother's side of the house.
[01:39.10]I walked to the locked door,
[01:40.59]the sounds of the crying becoming louder.
[01:43.69]I tried the door, and to my surprise, it was unlocked⁴.
[01:48.44]I opened it with a creak, and the crying stopped.
[01:52.80]The room was light blue,
[01:54.47]with three shelves containing toys, books,
[01:57.62]everything a baby needed.
[01:59.79]In the middle of the room, was a crib.
[02:02.27]I walked over to it, and took a peek⁵.
[02:05.54]There was a blanket there,
[02:07.18]waiting for a child to sleepily hug it.
[02:10.77]I went back to bed, telling myself I had only imagined it.
