**Title: "The Baby Monitor"** *3:14 AM.* *A baby monitor crackles.* **Baby:** *Laughing.* **Mom:** "She's awake." **Dad:** "I'll get her." *He walks toward the nursery.* **Mom** *(watching the monitor):* "Wait..." **Dad:** "What?" **Mom:** "Who's holding her?" *Dad freezes.* **Dad:** "...What are you talking about?" **Mom:** "There's someone standing over the crib." *Dad slowly opens the nursery door.* The room is empty. **Dad:** "There's nobody here." **Mom:** "...Then who just closed the door?" *The nursery door slams shut.* The baby monitor fills with static. A small hand reaches into view... ...and gently covers the baby's mouth. The crying stops instantly. **Mom:** "NO!" Dad throws the door open. The crib is empty. The window is locked. The closet is empty. On the crib mattress, written in tiny handprints: **"THANK YOU FOR LEAVING HER ALONE."** *Suddenly...* The baby starts crying again. Both parents look at the crib. She's back. Sleeping peacefully. **Dad:** "...She's here." **Mom:** "Then..." She slowly looks at the baby monitor. The monitor still shows someone... standing over the crib. Watching them.
