A Dark Night's Story Book to Make You Jump

Shadow in the window

I woke up late, late one night and the baby at the end of my bed was crying. I picked it up and cradled my child as any mother should, and carried it to the kitchen to make him a bottle, which he rejected. I then went to change his diaper which was clean. I then drew to my final conclusion that he had a nightmare. As I was turning to leave the kitchen when I saw a figure in the window near mine. I drew it off as nothing and tended to my child and we went to bed for the night. I went to work the next day after the babysitter arrived, only to get a call later from the baby sitter, confused I picked up the phone. "Um, I know this is inconvenient but there is a man at the door and he says he's your husband, but when I told him you didn't have a husband he insisted the opposite and threatened to call the cops on me." I responded immediately "tell him that he better leave by the time I call the cops or else." She responded after about three minutes with "after telling him that he sprinted off." "Good, because the cops are on their way". I managed to get out of work an hour early and paid the sitter extra for basically saving my child. Later that night I went through the same thing as last night. Except I noticed something odd, the figure in the dark wasn't a figure outside, it was a reflection, and it fit a description the sitter had given me, but with a knife.
