Rock-a-Bye

A ghoul refused to leave the only home she’s ever known. It made no difference to her when a young couple, the woman carrying a baby, pulled into her driveway. She wasn’t going to budge. Little did she know, they came prepared to deal with her should she become unreasonable.

On their first night, after putting the baby to bed, they prepared for the ghoul to strike. Knowing she snatches souls from sleeping children didn’t worry them. As the night wore on and not a peep was heard they grew concerned. Upon entering the nursery, the slumbering baby was gone.
