Finally, he spoke again, his eyes filled with a seriousness that seemed far beyond his years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom the shadows,\u201d he said, his voice barely above a whisper. \u201cThey come at night.

They agreed to install a nightlight in the baby\u2019s room and reassured their eldest that he could always come to them if he felt scared.
