MY EX GAVE OUR SON A ROCKING HORSE — BUT WHEN I HEARD A STRANGE SOUND COMING FROM INSIDE, I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG
When my ex showed up with a “special surprise” for our son Ethan — a fuzzy rocking horse with button eyes and a stitched saddle — I didn’t think twice. He’s always been the type to overcompensate with gifts ever since the divorce, so I chalked it up to guilt and let Ethan enjoy it.
At first, it was innocent. Ethan adored it. He rode it every day, laughing like only a toddler can.
But then I noticed it.
A click.
Soft at first, barely noticeable. Then louder. More distinct. And too rhythmic to be random.
I figured it was a loose part… until one night, curiosity got the better of me. I waited until Ethan was asleep, flipped the toy over, and rocked it back and forth.
The sound was still there. Coming from inside the horse.
With shaking hands, I unzipped the seam near the belly… and what I found made my skin crawl.
It wasn’t just a toy anymore.
What was hidden inside changed everything.
