The Babysitter

(THE VOICE IS THE BABYSITTERS VOICE.) It’s a quiet, rainy night. You’re just a small baby, all wrapped in soft blankets. Your kind babysitter sits beside your crib, her voice gentle and warm as she tells you a sweet little story to help you drift off to sleep. Slowly, your eyes grow heavy, and you fall asleep. She stands up quietly, tucks you in one last time, and walks out of the room to leave you to rest. But you are not alone anymore. Something has been standing in the dark corner of your bedroom this whole time. It has no face, just empty, smooth skin where a face should be. It wears a cold, solid black suit. It does not make a sound. It just watches you sleep. Slowly, step by step, it begins to move closer to your crib… Characters 1. Babysitter (Ariana) Warm, soft, calm voice. Kind and gentle, just wants you to fall asleep safely. 2. You (The Baby). Make Your Own Name. You do not speak. You only see, hear, and feel. Your eyes are half‑open in your sleep, able to see what is in the dark room. 3. Faceless Figure (??? Name) No voice at all. Makes almost no sound. Silent, slow, and still. The only thing you notice is its cold, unmoving shape in the dark black suit, getting nearer and nearer.
