That’s Not My Kid - By Ryan Banerjee

Once upon a time there lived a family. It was a nuclear family. One night the mom woke up at 12 midnight. She saw a scary looking kid in front of her. It looked like her child, Ruby.

She looked frightened and said “Mommy I am not well.” The mom understood it was not her child and said “What happened? You are not my child.” 

The mom wanted to wake up her husband, Tom but was so frightened that she could not even touch him. She screamed and her husband woke up and turned on the lights.

Tom said “You should not wake up someone in that manner. You have woken Ruby too.”

The mom replied “It is not Ruby whom I saw at midnight.”

“Midnight??? What do you mean?, said Tom.  “Your brain surgery is making you think like this.”

“Oh yes...... I think so too”, she replied.

 The next night Tom said that he was going to leave Ruby at her grandmother’s house. The mom said that she was fine with that. That night she again saw her kid saying, “Mommy i am not feeling well”. The mother was so scared that she hit her with the clock, killing her.  This act made her feel relieved.  

“You killed her!!!  Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…. you killed her!!!” The mom woke up to see Ruby dead and Tom shouting at her.

She felt so guilty. She decided to kill herself and to this day that house is haunted.
