Goodnight momma

The door to a room in the little girls house has always been locked

Never opened

Never

It was locked when they bought the house

The person selling it said they wanted to get rid of it after their child went missing

They said they bought it from someone who child also went missing whilst they were living in the house

The day we bought it my dad said maybe the house eats children

Then tried to open the locked door saying he was going to feed me to the house

For the last five people who bought this house one of their children went missing

Before that a lady lived here

She killed her self after having a miscarriage

The note said she wants to be with her baby

I always thought that maybe she was just lonely and wanted to die to see her child

I looked at the photos of the missing children

And the photo of the sad lady

I hoped one day the children get found

I didn't realise but it was already night

I stepped out onto the cold floor

Every step I took it would creak
The door that was always locked was open

Just a little bit

I heard a lady singing

~Hush little baby don't say a word~

~mommas gonna buy you a mocking bird~

~and if that mocking bird won't sing~

~mommas gonna buy you a diamond ring~

~and if that diamond ring goes brass~

It was scary

Her voice seemed empty

It wasn't my mommy

That's not her voice

I pushed the door open

There sat that dead lady

All the children that went missing sat around her

Sleeping

She invited me in and offered me a cookie and warm milk

The door slammed shut but I didn't mind it

She said it was just the wind and it gets drafty in there

She started singing

I got so so tired

I couldn't keep my eyes open

She was signing me to sleep

Only then did I realise it's a trap

She tricked me

It was a trick

I'm not getting out

Ever

Just like all these children

They all look like they've been sleeping for years

Covered in dust and cobwebs

I tried to scream

But I couldn't make any noise

I'm stuck

I'm never going to leave

I drifted back into my mind

Lost control of my body

~good night momma~

I recognized it as my voice But I don't recall saying it

That's it

I don't control my body

Or my mind

She does

She's so brave and pretty

She sings and gives me cookies

The perfect momma

Goodnight momma
