The Cradle in the Apartment Above the Garage on Maple Street

Luna's friend Claire rents the small apartment above a detached garage on Maple Street in Oakhaven, a sleepy town in western Massachusetts. It's late October, the year the leaves stayed on the trees until Halloween. The cradle arrived before Claire did — a dark wooden thing with a chipped bird painted on the headboard, left behind by a previous tenant. But the tenant's name on the lease was a woman who never had a child. Luna stays over one night when Claire is out of town, and the cradle begins to rock on its own. She finds an old receipt tucked under the mattress — a hospital bill from St. Mary's, dated 1978, for 'room and board for the lying-in.' And a name. A baby girl, stillborn, never named. The rocking doesn't stop until Luna whispers a name she finds in the town records, a name the mother never got to give. #GoodnightSweetheart #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #Cradle #MapleStreet #Oakhaven #Massachusetts #October #Stillborn #Baby #Receipt #HospitalBill #LyingIn #RockingCradle #Unnamed #Whisper #Luna #Anthology Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
