IMP
Chapter 36: The Imp and the six months old baby
""I'm scared. I feel restless. Never felt like this in a long time. I don't know what's wrong with me but I'm sure that it's an omen. I'm really scared and I feel like staying up all night. I don't even know which of the feelings to choose. Whether to stay up all night or just go out with our baby."
A woman said. She was sitting opposite a man. The room was fairly illuminated. There was a lantern sitting on the top of what was close to a cupboard.

He said, picking a chop of the cooked meat in the bowl. The fat lump seemed too big for his jaws, so he tried as much as possible to crunch it. At least the best way he could.
That was the only thing he found solace in between the remonstrations of his wife and the crying baby.

Call him crazy for all he cared.
He watched her stand up and go to the bed. She gently and carefully swooped into her arms, the baby daintily wrapped into the skin with fur.
