Oskar just decided to stay on his friend’s house without asking him. He took his laptop, power on the TV and started writing. 
Suddenly he heard a big noise on the attic. He quickly went to take a look and he could heard the laughter of a baby.…

Peering around old suitcases, Oskar spied a baby sitting in a box, playing with his old stuffed animals. She was dressed in a onesie with a pattern of watermelons. Her hair was the color of corn silk; her laugh rolled like a running stream. "Where did you come from?" Oskar asked.

“I come from a long line of charmers,” said the tiny baby with perfect pronunciation and diction. Then she went back to playing with the old stuffed tiger again.

I snatched that stuffed tiger from her hands. Baby or not, she had some explaining to do. “What do you mean, charmers?” I demanded. Waving the tiger around I asked, “Are you going to help me or not?” The baby looked at me with her blue eyes and said, “If you do me a favor first.”

"Favor?" I scoffed, thinking that this whole thing was simply absurd. "You're a baby. Look at you!" I gestured at her nappies. She folded her arms, raising her eyebrows, as if daring me to continue, to which, in response, I did. but what kind of baby could raise her eyebrows?

This cranky baby was one of a kind. The favor as it turns out involved a small pony and some sliced cheese. Seemed simple enough and I had no plans that afternoon.

All I had to do was use the cheese to lure Charles' prized pony to my apartment without him knowing.

The pony walked into my apartment, sniffing for my cheese & falling for my trap. I lunged at the pony so I could capture it. But the pony kicked me with its hoofs and smashed through the wall. It grabbed the cheese in its mouth & neighed. Charles appeared. "Better luck next time"

Jerry glanced down at the photograph in his hand, then back up again at the woman sitting alone at the back of the cafe.

He shook his head, not believing what he was looking at. Then he compared the two again: the photo and the woman. 
They looked exactly the same.

All at once a blinding light coursed through the space. Jerry and the woman froze. And then a creature appeared, seemingly from the air itself.

The creature pointed to Jerry and the woman, and turned. Light flashed, and when it got back to normal, the creature was gone.
