There was a flash and Karen was gone. I looked around the room and couldn't find her anywhere.
"Where did Karen go?" I asked myself out loud.
I then heard a baby crying.
I knew I was home alone. Mom wasn't due home for another hour or so.
As the crying didn't stop, I followed the noise, finding coming from the spare bedroom.
Only it wasn't the spare bedroom anymore. The room had been changed into a nursery. There was a changing table, a toy box, and a crib. The crying was coming from the crib.
I moved to the crib and looked at the baby crying within.
I had never really felt comfortable around babies and crying babies were the worst.
I picked the crying baby and tried to quiet it down.
Nothing I did seemed to work.
"I wish .."
