Static on the Baby Monitor
horror◐ Teen5 contributors · 4 paragraphs deep
Mara drops the monitor on the couch and bolts up the stairs two at a time. Theo's door is shut, just like always. She shoves it open. The crib is empty. The whole room is empty. But on the wall above the crib, drawn in green crayon, is a little screen with a girl inside it, and the girl has her exact face.
Mara backs away from the wall, but the crayon screen begins to glow. The girl drawn inside it turns her head and looks right at Mara. 'Eleven nights,' the drawing mouths. 'One more and I'm out.' Mara runs for the stairs, grabs the real Theo from the couch downstairs, and carries him out the front door into the night.
