lost in time

Mystery Baby

Mama Su

It's 10:30 pm on a Thursday night and I have finally gotten all the kids to sleep. Running an ophangen is not easy but I had to. I couldn't leave my sister to it she hates children, I find it weird because we've been in this business for as long as I can remember that's just what my family does but our ophangen is different we treat the children like family that way they always have a place to turn to. Tonight was supposed to be just like every other day I'm supposed to be in bed with my laptop and a cup of coffee bench watching love or money but instead I'm seated in the living room and trying to figure out how this is possible or whether I need to call a therapist.

Let me explain I was about to make my coffee like normal when all of a sudden there was a black out it was exactly 10:20pm it went on for round about 10 minutes but the problem is that when the blackout started I seemed to be the only one who experienced it because when the black out ended the time was still 10:20pm and everything around me seemed normal well except the cries of a baby I kept hearing and I'll tell you why it's not normal because everyone in my  ophangen is over the age of 4 we haven't had a baby in almost a decade.

I went to the front door to try and track down the crys of the baby because for some reason i felt like the baby was crying out to me. I pulled the front door open and there she was wrapped up in Egyptian cotton in the most beautiful vintage basket I've ever seen she looked pale and fragile. I was afraid to carry her scared that I might break her or worse drop her. She was beautiful but look like she belonged in the 1860s. Her hair had powder in it which was preventing it from getting greasy. She was pale like her skin was washed in milk. She wore a necklace a simple golden one with a word ingraved in it Nova A. I decided to take her inside it was staring to get windy outside.

I placed the baby and the basket on the table so I could get a closer look at her. Her cries stopped as soon as I lifted the basket and she opened her eyes. One as blue as the ocean another as dark as chocolate she was a beauty by far the prettiest baby I've ever seen. Why would someone abandon her in this manner and at this time to begin with. What could this sweet angel have done to deserve such. Leaving a baby at the door step was a first that has never happened before well that I'm aware of. So I'm obviously going to check the security cameras to see who could have left the baby by the door.

After running upstairs to grab my laptop and running back down stairs I manage to get back and find her sleeping she looked peaceful too peaceful that I had to check if she was breathing and thank God she was. I proceeded to check the security cameras but  there is nothing and I mean nothing that can explain what I'm watching it happened so fast that I'm questioning all aspects of life well you probably think I'm over reacting so let me explain to you what I'm seeing. I played the footage from 10:15pm and nothing appears till 10:19pm and exactly at 10:20pm the camera glitches for a second and the baby is on the door step. So.. unless the flash dropped this baby off which I don't think so since this is reality that means this baby appeared out of thin air. After watching the recording 4 more time trying to came to a logical explanation as to how this happened something finally makes sense again I almost forgot about the blackout I experienced you know the one that happened yet time never moved making it seem as though it didn't happen, could it be that the baby appeared during that time.
