[0000] This old baby nursery must have once been a cheery place. Now, through neglect, cobwebs decorate the corners, wallpaper peels from the walls, and dust covers the nursery furniture.
|
|
[0001] The chest of drawers is empty.
|
|
[0002] The chest of drawers looks old and neglected.
|
|
[0003] You imagine the mother who must have rocked her baby in this rocking chair.
|
|
[0004] You see the cemetery out the window.
|
|
[0005] The baby cradle is empty.
|
|
[0006] With trepidation, you peek into the rocking cradle and see nothing. Tentatively you reach your hand into it. There is nothing there!!
|
|
[0007] You see an empty cradle here.
|
|
[0008] The baby cradle rocks to and fro as a baby's voice wails from within.
|
|
[0009] There is nothing of importance on the walls.
|
|
[0010] There is nothing of interest on the floor.
|
|
[0011] There is an old rocking horse here.
|
|
[0012] A worn pink rug adorns the floor.
|
|
[0013] That would waste your precious time.
|
|
[0014] The cradle is already rocking!
|
|
[0015] You're too big for it.
|
|
[0016] You don't need it.
|
|
[0017] You speak in a soft trembly voice to the fretful baby ghost. Unfortunately, the poor little thing continues its pathetic crying.
|
|
[0018] You'd like to, but you can't see it, or touch it.
|
|
[0019] You reach your hand into the rocking cradle and feel around. There is nothing there but a strange coldness! A shiver runs down your spine as the unseen baby continues its incessant crying.
|
|
[0020] How can you kill something that is already dead?
|
|
[0021] You'd like to help the poor baby ghost, but how can you do that?
|
|
[0022] This baby doesn't eat!
|
|
[0023] While trembling, you attempt to sing a lullaby to the whimpering baby ghost. It doesn't work. The poor thing continues its pitiful crying.
|
|
[0024] Obviously, as the crying continues, the baby ghost isn't interested in it.
|
|
[0025] You drop the silver rattle into the baby cradle. As you do so, the crying of the baby ghost and the rocking of the cradle cease. You breathe a big sigh of relief.
|
|
[0026] The crying baby seems to be in here.
