A Lone Blanket
A little disheartened, I was ready to go. I was looking back to the living room when I noticed a baby blanket on the sofa, folded neatly and undamaged. Shouldn’t it be used constantly? It seemed odd. I couldn’t get rid of the strange feeling. My thoughts ached with distrust, but I remained silent. It appeared to be merely one more piece of the puzzle, put away for later thought.

Lingering Doubts
My thoughts were focused on the odd encounter from the afternoon, so the drive home was a haze. I kept wondering why there were no baby noises during my visit, and I couldn’t get rid of the impression that something important was being withheld from me. Why wouldn’t they take assistance? I couldn’t help but worry about what the buried truth might be because everything seemed to point to a more serious problem. Everything seemed too eerie.
