This is Why People Don’t Sleep at Night

A young girl is playing in her bedroom when she hears her mother call to her from the first floor kitchen.

As she descends the staircase and strides down the passageway, hands emerge from a hall closet and pull her in while she’s passing by. When the girl’s eyes finally acclimate to the darkness, she recognizes the closet’s other occupant: her mother. The woman whispers to her child, “I heard it, too.”
