The Figure
It was then that he saw it. In the distance, a figure holding a crying bundle stood dark and shadowy. He felt his heart stop beating. Could it have been a ghost? Could it be a hallucination?
In spite of his attempts to back away, the figure stepped closer, making the crying louder. His eyes opened wide when he realized what he had seen. This wasn’t a ghost or a hallucination.
There was a woman reaching out to the baby.
