black eye being encounter results in

11
00:00:37,750 --> 00:00:35,360
pregnancy

12
00:00:38,630 --> 00:00:37,760
six years ago i had an unusual

13
00:00:40,470 --> 00:00:38,640
experience

14
00:00:42,869 --> 00:00:40,480
which i cannot say was either this or

15
00:00:44,470 --> 00:00:42,879
that my husband and i lived in an

16
00:00:46,549 --> 00:00:44,480
apartment at the time

17
00:00:47,830 --> 00:00:46,559
i was asleep in the bedroom and he was

18
00:00:50,709 --> 00:00:47,840
out in the living room

19
00:00:52,869 --> 00:00:50,719
most likely sleeping on the sofa i was

20
00:00:54,229 --> 00:00:52,879
startled awake by a very loud knocking

21
00:00:57,110 --> 00:00:54,239
at the front door

22
00:00:59,029 --> 00:00:57,120
i was upset because it was about 2 am

23
00:01:00,470 --> 00:00:59,039
and thinking it may have been one of my

24
00:01:02,790 --> 00:01:00,480
husband's buddies

25
00:01:03,590 --> 00:01:02,800
i heard my husband get up and answer the

26
00:01:06,469 --> 00:01:03,600
door

27
00:01:08,950 --> 00:01:06,479
as he did something very weird occurred

28
00:01:11,030 --> 00:01:08,960
i felt like i was in a waking dream

29
00:01:12,469 --> 00:01:11,040
losing all consciousness of the time and

30
00:01:14,789 --> 00:01:12,479
my surroundings

31
00:01:16,469 --> 00:01:14,799
it's difficult to describe other than i

32
00:01:19,030 --> 00:01:16,479
felt like i was in a bubble

33
00:01:20,469 --> 00:01:19,040
but still able to move about when i

34
00:01:22,789 --> 00:01:20,479
walked out of the bedroom

35
00:01:24,630 --> 00:01:22,799
i couldn't locate my husband but there

36
00:01:26,070 --> 00:01:24,640
were two other people standing in the

37
00:01:28,950 --> 00:01:26,080
living room by the sliding

38
00:01:30,870 --> 00:01:28,960
window one was very tall and lanky

39
00:01:33,270 --> 00:01:30,880
wearing a dark-headed cape

40
00:01:34,310 --> 00:01:33,280
the other was short like the size of a

41
00:01:36,390 --> 00:01:34,320
five-year-old

42
00:01:37,749 --> 00:01:36,400
dressed in a black one-piece suit that

43
00:01:40,469 --> 00:01:37,759
covered its head

44
00:01:42,550 --> 00:01:40,479
and yet i had an unmistakable sense that

45
00:01:44,550 --> 00:01:42,560
the smaller one was the person in charge

46
00:01:46,469 --> 00:01:44,560
of the duo in the situation

47
00:01:47,749 --> 00:01:46,479
i was scared since i thought these two

48
00:01:49,990 --> 00:01:47,759
were up to no good

49
00:01:51,030 --> 00:01:50,000
and i couldn't understand why my husband

50
00:01:53,590 --> 00:01:51,040
had let them in

51
00:01:54,870 --> 00:01:53,600
at the same time wondering where he was

52
00:01:56,789 --> 00:01:54,880
i stood still

53
00:01:58,630 --> 00:01:56,799
staring at them and trying to get a

54
00:02:00,789 --> 00:01:58,640
better look at their faces

55
00:02:02,550 --> 00:02:00,799
the short one was turned away and it

56
00:02:04,389 --> 00:02:02,560
never showed its face

57
00:02:06,310 --> 00:02:04,399
but the tall one raised its head and

58
00:02:08,150 --> 00:02:06,320
stared right back at me

59
00:02:10,790 --> 00:02:08,160
it looked like a young man with sallow

60
00:02:13,350 --> 00:02:10,800
skin but his eyes were solid black

61
00:02:15,670 --> 00:02:13,360
i remember his face was human-like but

62
00:02:18,070 --> 00:02:15,680
that something was just not right

63
00:02:20,229 --> 00:02:18,080
i know there was more but i simply don't

64
00:02:22,309 --> 00:02:20,239
remember any further details

65
00:02:23,990 --> 00:02:22,319
the only thing that i recall is waking

66
00:02:25,990 --> 00:02:24,000
up late the next morning

67
00:02:28,150 --> 00:02:26,000
walking out into the kitchen and asking

68
00:02:29,350 --> 00:02:28,160
my husband if anyone knocked on the door

69
00:02:32,470 --> 00:02:29,360
last night

70
00:02:33,509 --> 00:02:32,480
he said yeah someone knocked but when i

71
00:02:35,750 --> 00:02:33,519
opened the door

72
00:02:38,070 --> 00:02:35,760
no one was there he said he looked

73
00:02:40,229 --> 00:02:38,080
outside and into the parking lot

74
00:02:42,070 --> 00:02:40,239
he couldn't figure it out how someone

75
00:02:44,070 --> 00:02:42,080
could knock and get away so quickly

76
00:02:46,790 --> 00:02:44,080
without being seen or heard

77
00:02:49,430 --> 00:02:46,800
he was sure it wasn't a neighbor he said

78
00:02:51,190 --> 00:02:49,440
he had a sick feeling after it happened

79
00:02:53,110 --> 00:02:51,200
i didn't tell him what had happened to

80
00:02:53,910 --> 00:02:53,120
me though we have discussed it since

81
00:02:56,390 --> 00:02:53,920
then

82
00:02:57,589 --> 00:02:56,400
about two months later i discovered that

83
00:02:59,670 --> 00:02:57,599
i was pregnant

84
00:03:01,750 --> 00:02:59,680
but that was impossible because i was

85
00:03:03,509 --> 00:03:01,760
told before we got married that i could

86
00:03:05,830 --> 00:03:03,519
not conceive a child

87
00:03:07,670 --> 00:03:05,840
the doctor looked at my tests and scans

88
00:03:09,589 --> 00:03:07,680
from a previous examination

89
00:03:11,910 --> 00:03:09,599
and determined that my eggs were not

90
00:03:12,869 --> 00:03:11,920
viable but he again confirmed that i was

91
00:03:15,270 --> 00:03:12,879
pregnant

92
00:03:17,350 --> 00:03:15,280
calculation of the time when i conceived

93
00:03:19,589 --> 00:03:17,360
fell within the period in which we had a

94
00:03:20,550 --> 00:03:19,599
strange experience with the two unknown

95
00:03:22,710 --> 00:03:20,560
beings

96
00:03:24,550 --> 00:03:22,720
the pregnancy went well and i gave birth

97
00:03:26,630 --> 00:03:24,560
to a healthy baby girl

98
00:03:28,550 --> 00:03:26,640
but i have wondered if the encounter had

99
00:03:29,910 --> 00:03:28,560
something to do with me being able to

100
00:03:38,949 --> 00:03:29,920
conceive a child

101
00:03:45,190 --> 00:03:42,149
black-eyed kids why did they come back

102
00:03:46,949 --> 00:03:45,200
i knew it i fracking knew it i had an

103
00:03:49,350 --> 00:03:46,959
encounter when i was 13

104
00:03:50,309 --> 00:03:49,360
thinking i was okay but it happened

105
00:03:53,030 --> 00:03:50,319
again

106
00:03:55,910 --> 00:03:53,040
my roommates saw it too it's been four

107
00:03:59,110 --> 00:03:55,920
or five years since my last encounter

108
00:04:01,350 --> 00:03:59,120
i think i'm safe right wrong i moved

109
00:04:04,390 --> 00:04:01,360
last year and i recently thought

110
00:04:07,429 --> 00:04:04,400
hey remember those kids a few years ago

111
00:04:09,830 --> 00:04:07,439
funny they can't get you now wrong

112
00:04:10,630 --> 00:04:09,840
i live on a mountain about an hour away

113
00:04:12,789 --> 00:04:10,640
from the beach

114
00:04:13,750 --> 00:04:12,799
in a well-populated neighborhood with my

115
00:04:15,830 --> 00:04:13,760
roommates

116
00:04:18,229 --> 00:04:15,840
two chill lesbians and a gay college

117
00:04:20,229 --> 00:04:18,239
dude super cool people

118
00:04:22,069 --> 00:04:20,239
i think nothing can hurt me now because

119
00:04:25,270 --> 00:04:22,079
there are people everywhere

120
00:04:26,790 --> 00:04:25,280
but no i'm stupid and jinxed myself i

121
00:04:28,870 --> 00:04:26,800
was home two days ago

122
00:04:31,110 --> 00:04:28,880
class was cancelled and the dude of the

123
00:04:33,270 --> 00:04:31,120
house was home to taking a nap

124
00:04:35,030 --> 00:04:33,280
i'm in the kitchen watching netflix and

125
00:04:36,070 --> 00:04:35,040
doing homework when there's a knock on

126
00:04:38,390 --> 00:04:36,080
the window

127
00:04:39,990 --> 00:04:38,400
obviously this is weird as hell but i

128
00:04:42,550 --> 00:04:40,000
have weird friends

129
00:04:44,710 --> 00:04:42,560
maybe one of them is trying to scare me

130
00:04:45,590 --> 00:04:44,720
i brush it off and continue what i was

131
00:04:48,790 --> 00:04:45,600
doing

132
00:04:50,870 --> 00:04:48,800
then it happens again then once again

133
00:04:52,950 --> 00:04:50,880
i brush it off because maybe it was the

134
00:04:54,790 --> 00:04:52,960
snow if it wasn't my friends

135
00:04:56,230 --> 00:04:54,800
things like this happen all the time

136
00:04:58,710 --> 00:04:56,240
with them well

137
00:05:01,110 --> 00:04:58,720
it goes on for like 10 minutes and now

138
00:05:03,749 --> 00:05:01,120
i'm kind of starting to freak out

139
00:05:05,350 --> 00:05:03,759
my friends don't have this much patience

140
00:05:07,990 --> 00:05:05,360
i go to charlie's room

141
00:05:09,830 --> 00:05:08,000
the guy and wake him up i'm not one

142
00:05:11,189 --> 00:05:09,840
that's usually riled up so he's

143
00:05:13,590 --> 00:05:11,199
concerned too

144
00:05:16,070 --> 00:05:13,600
we both go to the window i have my phone

145
00:05:16,550 --> 00:05:16,080
out with the camera and 911 within a

146
00:05:19,110 --> 00:05:16,560
touch

147
00:05:21,029 --> 00:05:19,120
and charlie has a bat we look out the

148
00:05:23,189 --> 00:05:21,039
window and no one's there

149
00:05:24,710 --> 00:05:23,199
after a minute we calm down and go and

150
00:05:27,110 --> 00:05:24,720
sit in the living room

151
00:05:28,710 --> 00:05:27,120
chaz's mom is a cop so he says he'll

152
00:05:30,629 --> 00:05:28,720
tell her about it later

153
00:05:32,390 --> 00:05:30,639
we think we're okay so we chill and

154
00:05:35,270 --> 00:05:32,400
watch tv together

155
00:05:36,629 --> 00:05:35,280
30 minutes later the doorbell rings i go

156
00:05:39,270 --> 00:05:36,639
and open the door

157
00:05:40,790 --> 00:05:39,280
at first i don't see anything then down

158
00:05:41,430 --> 00:05:40,800
on the bottom of the stairs of the

159
00:05:43,670 --> 00:05:41,440
apartment

160
00:05:44,870 --> 00:05:43,680
i see three young boys dressed in black

161
00:05:47,590 --> 00:05:44,880
hoodies jeans

162
00:05:48,710 --> 00:05:47,600
and brown or black bangs at first i

163
00:05:51,670 --> 00:05:48,720
didn't move

164
00:05:53,909 --> 00:05:51,680
i was frozen in place then charlie asked

165
00:05:55,510 --> 00:05:53,919
who it was and i came to my senses and

166
00:05:58,230 --> 00:05:55,520
got a good look at the kids

167
00:05:59,590 --> 00:05:58,240
then slammed the door shut behind me i

168
00:06:02,230 --> 00:05:59,600
started bawling

169
00:06:03,029 --> 00:06:02,240
and i mean sobbing i don't know what to

170
00:06:10,469 --> 00:06:03,039
do

171
00:06:13,350 --> 00:06:10,479
outside

172
00:06:15,189 --> 00:06:13,360
he saw them too he started freaking out

173
00:06:17,270 --> 00:06:15,199
because he didn't know what to do so he

174
00:06:19,830 --> 00:06:17,280
started yelling at them to leave

175
00:06:22,309 --> 00:06:19,840
he said they started smiling i was

176
00:06:24,230 --> 00:06:22,319
crying even more now he was screaming

177
00:06:25,350 --> 00:06:24,240
and i think the neighbors wanted to call

178
00:06:27,830 --> 00:06:25,360
the cops

179
00:06:28,710 --> 00:06:27,840
now think about this he didn't know what

180
00:06:31,749 --> 00:06:28,720
they were

181
00:06:34,150 --> 00:06:31,759
had scared me

182
00:06:36,230 --> 00:06:34,160
he didn't see their eyes yet i start

183
00:06:38,070 --> 00:06:36,240
yelling at him to get inside when i hear

184
00:06:38,629 --> 00:06:38,080
a bunch of footsteps running up the

185
00:06:41,510 --> 00:06:38,639
stairs

186
00:06:43,270 --> 00:06:41,520
and charlie screams and runs inside he's

187
00:06:44,230 --> 00:06:43,280
telling me he saw their eyes and that

188
00:06:45,909 --> 00:06:44,240
they were black

189
00:06:47,670 --> 00:06:45,919
and now we're both freaking out and

190
00:06:49,990 --> 00:06:47,680
grabbing kitchen knives

191
00:06:50,870 --> 00:06:50,000
eventually we calm down and look outside

192
00:06:53,270 --> 00:06:50,880
again

193
00:06:55,510 --> 00:06:53,280
no one's there but we can see a group of

194
00:06:55,830 --> 00:06:55,520
kids past the complex with three that we

195
00:06:58,309 --> 00:06:55,840
think

196
00:06:59,589 --> 00:06:58,319
are the becks i told him about the other

197
00:07:02,150 --> 00:06:59,599
thing that happened to me

198
00:07:03,909 --> 00:07:02,160
and now we're scared to be in this house

199
00:07:05,909 --> 00:07:03,919
we told the other roommates and they

200
00:07:08,710 --> 00:07:05,919
thought we were high or something

201
00:07:09,909 --> 00:07:08,720
once again no one believes me sorry this

202
00:07:11,990 --> 00:07:09,919
is all over the place

203
00:07:13,909 --> 00:07:12,000
this happened like three days ago and

204
00:07:16,309 --> 00:07:13,919
i've been on edge ever since

205
00:07:23,350 --> 00:07:16,319
does anyone know why did they come back

206
00:07:28,150 --> 00:07:26,309
the kansas black-eyed babies something

207
00:07:29,350 --> 00:07:28,160
happened last summer that has left me

208
00:07:32,070 --> 00:07:29,360
with many questions

209
00:07:34,469 --> 00:07:32,080
and few answers i was employed at an

210
00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:34,479
appliance and furniture rental and sales

211
00:07:39,029 --> 00:07:36,800
business in great bend kansas

212
00:07:39,909 --> 00:07:39,039
one morning a co-worker and i opened the

213
00:07:41,670 --> 00:07:39,919
store

214
00:07:43,670 --> 00:07:41,680
when we arrived we noticed that the back

215
00:07:43,990 --> 00:07:43,680
door was open and when we entered the

216
00:07:45,670 --> 00:07:44,000
back

217
00:07:47,110 --> 00:07:45,680
room all the lights in the store had

218
00:07:48,869 --> 00:07:47,120
been turned on

219
00:07:51,189 --> 00:07:48,879
i didn't look like a break-in because

220
00:07:53,270 --> 00:07:51,199
the security latch was intact

221
00:07:55,670 --> 00:07:53,280
the security system had been disabled

222
00:07:56,550 --> 00:07:55,680
there was no power indicator on the code

223
00:07:58,469 --> 00:07:56,560
box

224
00:08:01,270 --> 00:07:58,479
we immediately call the police and the

225
00:08:03,189 --> 00:08:01,280
store manager to report the situation

226
00:08:05,029 --> 00:08:03,199
we were told not to open the store and

227
00:08:06,390 --> 00:08:05,039
to remain in the back office until

228
00:08:08,710 --> 00:08:06,400
someone arrived

229
00:08:10,309 --> 00:08:08,720
a few minutes later after hanging up the

230
00:08:12,390 --> 00:08:10,319
phone with the store manager

231
00:08:13,430 --> 00:08:12,400
a police officer was knocking on the

232
00:08:15,510 --> 00:08:13,440
back door

233
00:08:17,189 --> 00:08:15,520
i left him in and told him what we had

234
00:08:18,950 --> 00:08:17,199
found when we arrived

235
00:08:20,790 --> 00:08:18,960
the officer started to walk through the

236
00:08:23,430 --> 00:08:20,800
back room and into the showroom

237
00:08:25,189 --> 00:08:23,440
when we started to hear a baby cry i

238
00:08:26,230 --> 00:08:25,199
thought that a customer may have somehow

239
00:08:28,469 --> 00:08:26,240
entered the store

240
00:08:30,710 --> 00:08:28,479
and that they had a baby with them my

241
00:08:32,469 --> 00:08:30,720
co-worker and i followed the officer in

242
00:08:35,110 --> 00:08:32,479
the direction of the crying well

243
00:08:37,509 --> 00:08:35,120
i didn't believe what i saw there were

244
00:08:38,469 --> 00:08:37,519
two babies lying on a twin size bed

245
00:08:40,550 --> 00:08:38,479
display

246
00:08:42,550 --> 00:08:40,560
the officer told us to stay there while

247
00:08:44,790 --> 00:08:42,560
he checked the rest of the store

248
00:08:47,030 --> 00:08:44,800
he had also radioed for another police

249
00:08:48,630 --> 00:08:47,040
officer to come to the location

250
00:08:51,430 --> 00:08:48,640
i looked down at the babies who were

251
00:08:53,829 --> 00:08:51,440
both tightly wrapped in dark green cloth

252
00:08:56,070 --> 00:08:53,839
both babies were quiet very still in

253
00:08:58,630 --> 00:08:56,080
looking at me and my co-worker

254
00:09:01,350 --> 00:08:58,640
i was taken aback by their odd eyes both

255
00:09:03,590 --> 00:09:01,360
babies had large pupils that were black

256
00:09:04,870 --> 00:09:03,600
there were no arises and neither of the

257
00:09:07,269 --> 00:09:04,880
babies blinked

258
00:09:08,070 --> 00:09:07,279
the police officer was soon back with us

259
00:09:11,030 --> 00:09:08,080
he commented

260
00:09:12,550 --> 00:09:11,040
on the baby's eyes as well in fact he

261
00:09:14,790 --> 00:09:12,560
was totally freaked out

262
00:09:17,030 --> 00:09:14,800
so much so that he looked scared the

263
00:09:18,949 --> 00:09:17,040
store manager soon arrived as well as a

264
00:09:20,790 --> 00:09:18,959
senior police officer

265
00:09:22,630 --> 00:09:20,800
we all stood around the bed looking at

266
00:09:24,389 --> 00:09:22,640
these strange babies who laid there

267
00:09:26,630 --> 00:09:24,399
quietly watching us

268
00:09:28,710 --> 00:09:26,640
the store manager pulled my co-worker

269
00:09:29,990 --> 00:09:28,720
and i to the side and told us to go

270
00:09:31,910 --> 00:09:30,000
ahead and leave

271
00:09:34,150 --> 00:09:31,920
he was not opening the store until he

272
00:09:36,070 --> 00:09:34,160
found out what was going on

273
00:09:38,389 --> 00:09:36,080
we quickly headed toward the back door

274
00:09:39,990 --> 00:09:38,399
and left i wasn't scheduled to work

275
00:09:42,310 --> 00:09:40,000
until a couple days later

276
00:09:44,070 --> 00:09:42,320
but i had talked to a few co-workers who

277
00:09:45,750 --> 00:09:44,080
said that the atmosphere in the store

278
00:09:47,750 --> 00:09:45,760
was very strange

279
00:09:49,990 --> 00:09:47,760
they had been receiving weird telephone

280
00:09:52,230 --> 00:09:50,000
calls and that the security system alarm

281
00:09:53,030 --> 00:09:52,240
would trip on several times during the

282
00:09:55,190 --> 00:09:53,040
day

283
00:09:56,710 --> 00:09:55,200
i got to work a little early for my next

284
00:09:58,630 --> 00:09:56,720
scheduled shift

285
00:10:00,630 --> 00:09:58,640
when i arrived the store manager was

286
00:10:03,030 --> 00:10:00,640
sitting in the office so i asked him

287
00:10:04,949 --> 00:10:03,040
what had happened after we had left

288
00:10:06,790 --> 00:10:04,959
he said that two young women who said

289
00:10:09,590 --> 00:10:06,800
they were from the municipal court

290
00:10:11,750 --> 00:10:09,600
eventually showed up and took the babies

291
00:10:13,829 --> 00:10:11,760
the senior police officer told him later

292
00:10:16,069 --> 00:10:13,839
that he had no idea who the women were

293
00:10:17,190 --> 00:10:16,079
but that he was told by his superior not

294
00:10:18,630 --> 00:10:17,200
to impede

295
00:10:21,190 --> 00:10:18,640
he thought they were probably from

296
00:10:23,269 --> 00:10:21,200
mcconnell air force base in wichita

297
00:10:26,069 --> 00:10:23,279
he also said that the babies were very

298
00:10:27,350 --> 00:10:26,079
quiet and seen relaxed the entire period

299
00:10:30,150 --> 00:10:27,360
that they were there

300
00:10:32,230 --> 00:10:30,160
i stopped working there not long after

301
00:10:33,670 --> 00:10:32,240
things were just never the same and it

302
00:10:35,670 --> 00:10:33,680
got tougher each day

303
00:10:38,310 --> 00:10:35,680
especially when odd-looking people would

304
00:10:40,949 --> 00:10:38,320
come into the store and just walk around

305
00:10:42,790 --> 00:10:40,959
i didn't feel comfortable being there i

306
00:10:44,710 --> 00:10:42,800
read an article not long ago about

307
00:10:46,069 --> 00:10:44,720
black-eyed kids and the theories on

308
00:10:48,470 --> 00:10:46,079
their existence

309
00:10:50,310 --> 00:10:48,480
have you heard of similar incidents i'd

310
00:10:58,069 --> 00:10:50,320
appreciate your feedback

311
00:11:02,870 --> 00:11:00,550
let them in most people say they can

312
00:11:05,750 --> 00:11:02,880
sense when something is about to happen

313
00:11:06,790 --> 00:11:05,760
something feels off or wrong maybe if

314
00:11:09,030 --> 00:11:06,800
that was the case

315
00:11:10,870 --> 00:11:09,040
this never would have occurred maybe i

316
00:11:13,030 --> 00:11:10,880
wouldn't be typing this story

317
00:11:15,030 --> 00:11:13,040
it was late but i couldn't sleep

318
00:11:17,030 --> 00:11:15,040
something in my mind was stuck in the on

319
00:11:19,110 --> 00:11:17,040
position and refused to budge

320
00:11:21,430 --> 00:11:19,120
after an hour tossing around under my

321
00:11:23,190 --> 00:11:21,440
sheets i accepted the futility and moved

322
00:11:25,590 --> 00:11:23,200
myself into the front room

323
00:11:27,750 --> 00:11:25,600
it had to be about 2 am the television

324
00:11:29,269 --> 00:11:27,760
volume on low playing some older sitcom

325
00:11:31,590 --> 00:11:29,279
i was barely aware of

326
00:11:32,710 --> 00:11:31,600
i was on the couch sleepily watching the

327
00:11:35,110 --> 00:11:32,720
ceiling fan

328
00:11:36,230 --> 00:11:35,120
i was pretty calm despite the late hour

329
00:11:38,069 --> 00:11:36,240
and my fatigue

330
00:11:39,750 --> 00:11:38,079
it was the knock on my front door that

331
00:11:41,829 --> 00:11:39,760
jarred me from my position

332
00:11:44,389 --> 00:11:41,839
i wasn't really suspicious as much as

333
00:11:45,110 --> 00:11:44,399
curious i lived in a relatively well-off

334
00:11:48,230 --> 00:11:45,120
neighborhood

335
00:11:50,870 --> 00:11:48,240
i had no reason to be scared at first

336
00:11:51,750 --> 00:11:50,880
i looked through the people nothing i

337
00:11:54,790 --> 00:11:51,760
opened the door

338
00:11:56,710 --> 00:11:54,800
leaving the chain lock intact nothing i

339
00:11:57,590 --> 00:11:56,720
gave up and returned to my place on the

340
00:11:59,990 --> 00:11:57,600
couch

341
00:12:02,310 --> 00:12:00,000
i think this time i dozed off putting

342
00:12:04,629 --> 00:12:02,320
the knockdown to my restless mind

343
00:12:05,750 --> 00:12:04,639
really i had made it up a figment of my

344
00:12:08,230 --> 00:12:05,760
imagination

345
00:12:11,030 --> 00:12:08,240
that is until it happened again it was

346
00:12:13,190 --> 00:12:11,040
maybe 3 am by the time i opened the door

347
00:12:14,710 --> 00:12:13,200
i was met by something you all know and

348
00:12:17,509 --> 00:12:14,720
fear at the time

349
00:12:19,590 --> 00:12:17,519
i had no idea all i saw in front of me

350
00:12:22,310 --> 00:12:19,600
were two sad helpless children

351
00:12:23,190 --> 00:12:22,320
hello the first one said we're lost it's

352
00:12:25,509 --> 00:12:23,200
so late

353
00:12:26,629 --> 00:12:25,519
can we please come in we have to call

354
00:12:29,350 --> 00:12:26,639
our parents

355
00:12:30,150 --> 00:12:29,360
he seems so articulate so smart for a

356
00:12:32,470 --> 00:12:30,160
child

357
00:12:34,310 --> 00:12:32,480
he was dressed in such snappy attire it

358
00:12:35,509 --> 00:12:34,320
didn't once cross my mind something

359
00:12:38,629 --> 00:12:35,519
might be wrong

360
00:12:40,790 --> 00:12:38,639
i just didn't notice the eyes somehow my

361
00:12:42,949 --> 00:12:40,800
mind skipped right over that detail

362
00:12:43,910 --> 00:12:42,959
the younger one a girl stood with her

363
00:12:45,670 --> 00:12:43,920
head down

364
00:12:47,670 --> 00:12:45,680
she was dressed down compared to her

365
00:12:48,470 --> 00:12:47,680
brother she wore her dark hair in

366
00:12:50,949 --> 00:12:48,480
pigtails

367
00:12:52,470 --> 00:12:50,959
and it was just so long something in me

368
00:12:55,269 --> 00:12:52,480
was screaming to shut the door

369
00:12:56,389 --> 00:12:55,279
yet i resisted two small children alone

370
00:12:58,790 --> 00:12:56,399
with no help

371
00:13:00,230 --> 00:12:58,800
i must help them it was the only moral

372
00:13:02,389 --> 00:13:00,240
and ethical decision

373
00:13:03,350 --> 00:13:02,399
well you turned them away i invited them

374
00:13:05,910 --> 00:13:03,360
inside

375
00:13:07,430 --> 00:13:05,920
at first they seemed surprised they had

376
00:13:08,949 --> 00:13:07,440
been expecting to have the door

377
00:13:10,790 --> 00:13:08,959
shut in their face they couldn't

378
