Perfection is not just about control. It's also about letting go. Surprise yourself so you can surprise the audience. Transcendence! Very few have it in them.

A dark ghost.
There once was a babysitter who had to babysit three kids. Amy was a full time student who would make her money babysitting for a few parents in her neighborhood who worked nights or just needed an occasional night out. One day she got a phone call from a young woman who had been referred by the parents of a 9 month old boy she watches on Wednesday nights. The woman tells Amy that she needs someone to watch her children that very same night.
“…only a for about 3 hours..”
“… they’ll probably be asleep the whole time anyways…”
“… they’re always out by 9.”
The babysitter, Amy, was watching tv in the den while the kids were in there room sleeping. She suddenly started to hear an odd noise from the kids room. She paused for a few seconds so she can hear and it kind of sounded like a voice, like maybe the tv or radio was on or something, because it wasn’t a child’s voice, but when Amy went to check on the kids she saw that they were sound asleep. And there was nothing on. It was dark in their room so she returned to the couch.
Maybe just a couple minutes later she heard another noise but this time it was unmistakably loud, a bang, like a gunshot. It made her jump. She could hear a cry and she jumped up and ran to the room and saw the boy on the floor on the side of his bed on his knees with hands together, praying. COME PRAY!!! Exclaimed the boy to Amy. She got on her knees so the boy would be quiet and wouldn’t wake the other toddlers, and they prayed. After she calmed the boy and tucked him back into bed, Amy went back to watching tv in the den.
When the children’s parents came home they told Amy how much they appreciated her helping them out in such a short notice and promised they would call her again when they needed someone to watch the kids. When they asked how the kids were Amy told her that one kid, a boy wanted her to pray. “What boy?... We only have two girls…???” The mom told Amy. They went upstairs and found the two daughters dead and covered in blood, and legend has it; if you don’t pray that a dark ghost will come and get you.
