The Visit

By Jzt

A father went to say good night to his seven year old son, very well knowing that if he didn't his son would have trouble sleeping. It was a nightly routine between them. He entered the dimly lit room where his son waited under his blanket. With the first glance the father could tell there was something unusual about his son tonight, but couldn't put his finger on it. He looked the same but had a grin that drew from ear to ear.

"Are you okay, buddy?”

The son nodded still with the grin before saying

"Father, can check for monsters under my bed?"

The father chuckled a bit before getting on his knees to check only to satisfy his son.There under the bed, pale and afraid, was his son.His real son. He whispered

"Dad, there someone on my bed”

With all his strength, he lifted the bed and smashed it up against the wall with whatever or whoever was in it and bolted out of the house with his real son. When they got outside, they saw two silhouette of what look exactly like him and his son waving at them with knives in hand. They called the police with the help of their neighbors but when the police came, there was no one in the house or any signs of break in. Just a note written in blood which says

“You didn’t wave back”

A Mother’s Gift

From morning to evening he reenact the same routine over and over again. His daily routine is very simple. Wake up, make breakfast for himself and his son, walk him to the front yard for the school bus ride and then tidy up the house. After which he set off to work. In the afternoon when he closes from work, he goes to pick up his son from school and they both walk home. They both wash their hands and afterwards he prepares something for his son to eat while his boy takes his bath. At night, he heats up one of the frozen foods in the fridge for both of them. It’s a one bedroom apartment so they both share the same bed and his son prefers sleeping next to him. “He still believes his son is alive and everything is fine. The new shock therapy may be able to snap him out of it if you only you approve of it” Said the psychiatrist to the man’s wife. “ No I want him in this state as punishment for what his mother did to my son “ The wife sobbed not because of her late son or the current of th...
