her best not to drop it. Four days of making sure he didn’t catch her sawing away at the rope.
    Each night she had to listen to the creepy voice talk to her child as she sawed at the rope. And finally on the fourth day she was free. It was mid morning. The child was napping and Roger was downstairs cooking breakfast.
    Clara rubbed her wrists as she stared around the room. She knew it would hurt to jump from the window, but that was her best way out. No way would she risk walking downstairs and being caught by her husband.
    To get to the window she had to go near Olivia’s crib. Just the thought of going near the child frightened Clara. She tiptoed over to the bed, surprised to find the child wide awake and staring up at her.
    Still holding the blade in her hand, Clara stared down at the babe. It was evil, she knew that. There was no way she could let this child live. The voice at night that spoke to it was evil.
    If she told Roger, he wouldn’t believe her. Clara knew what she had to do. Before escaping she had to rid the world of this child once and for all. She lifted the blade. The child smiled up at her.
    Clara slashed. The windows in the room exploded. Glass flew everywhere. Blood coated Clara’s fingers. She stared down at the baby whose eyes were now closed. She’d done it. She really did it.
    Clara smiled. She’d gotten rid of the child, once and for all. Olivia opened her eyes. Clara frowned. Laughter filled the room. Not Olivia’s laughter. The pictures on the walls shook. Clara stepped back away from the bed.
    “It is finished,” A loud voice said.
    What was finished? What the hell was going on? The door to the bedroom crashed open. Roger stormed inside. The look on his face was fierce.
    “What did you do?” He yelled to her as he stormed over to the bed. “You killed her.”
    “No, she’s alive. I saw her eyes open. She didn’t die. It didn’t work.”
    Roger reached down and picked up a piece of glass from the floor. “You did this to our child, our daughter. How could you?”
    “She isn’t dead.” Clara backed away from him. But she knew there was nowhere to run. She backed up until she reached the wall. And there against that wall, was where she died. With a large piece of glass protruding from her belly, Clara sank to the floor, her eyes drifting shut.
    The last thing she saw was Roger slicing his own neck then falling to the floor.
    The last sound she heard was laughter, Olivia’s laughter.

A Good Mommy
     
     
    “We have to call the police,” Dana yelled as her and Shelly raced for the front door of her home. She couldn’t believe Keira was dead. How? There had to be an intruder in the house. But there was no one else in the bathroom with her friend.
    Dana opened the front door then raced out. The door slammed shut behind her. What the hell. Dana tried to open the door. It was locked. She called for Shelly and could hear her friend on the other side of the door calling her name.
    “Shelly, open the door.”
    “I can’t. It’s locked. Dana what is going on?”
    Dana had no idea. “Shelly, just hold on. I’m going to go my neighbor’s house and call the police and see if I can bring back help. Go in the kitchen and get your phone. Then hide somewhere and call the police.”
    “Okay. Hurry back. I don’t want to be alone… ahhhh.”
    “Shelly,” Dana screamed for her friend. Oh no, it was happening again. Screams of terror could be heard coming from inside the house. Dana stepped away from the door. “Shelly,” she whispered, tears streaming down her face.
    The screams got louder and then just as quickly as they started they stopped. “Shelly,” Dana whispered again as she took another step away from the door. The lock on the inside of the home clicked and the door began to open.
    Dana turned to run. Something grabbed her and dragged her into the house. The door slammed shut behind her. Dana landed on the floor. Her head hit the side of
