Comment from Dawn Munro

Excellent

I'm guessing the bit about hiring someone to help and not being able to afford it was intentional misdirection to make the conclusion that much more shocking - it worked.

A poor over wrought father just can't catch a break, can he? Looks like a little patience may have given him more peace in the long run. Now he will never get any rest. His little princess will see to that since she will never grow up.

Well done once again.

Oh my goodness. A screaming, wailing baby ghost. Poor daddy - he'll never get any rest. Good thing too, if he's the one that put out her light.
You leave us wondering if mommy left or is somewhere in the basement.
Great write, Dean - Creepy as ever.
Rose.

Well written tale of horror. Even more diabolical as it involves a child, along with the wife. Guilt is a powerful thing. Powerful tale in just a few lines. Marilyn

There are times when you are one sick pup, how else could you come up with all the stuff that you do. But, I must admit, you keep me sitting and waiting to see what your mind will come up with next. Great job, as always. :-)

Wow, Dean, you certainly came up with an unexpected end of your tale. Actually this was very well written, making the ending a surprise to your readers, as who would not have deep sympathy for a hard working man, looking after a small baby up half the night. Nicely done.

That's the heck of dying before you find out what kind of world this is. You might perish with wrong ideas and not be happy to move on. Very brief and entirely chilling little story. Excellent.
