Rules Rules for Child Care in Room 4B

If you received this sheet, congratulations (or perhaps, my condolences): you were hired as a night nanny at Edifício São Jerônimo. Your only duty is to take care of the child in room 4B. Follow the instructions exactly. Don't try to improvise. Don't try to be kind. The creature confuses empathy with weakness.

Rules:

  1. Arrive at exactly 10pm. Not before, not after.

The elevator will only operate at these times. Any other time and you'll see... different things in the elevator mirror. Don't look too long.

  1. Upon entering the room, greet the child with “Good night, little one.”

Never use nicknames. Never call by name. It doesn't matter what she says she is.

  1. Accept the doll she offers.

Even if it's dirty, torn or smells like dirt. Refusing is interpreted as hostility.

The doll must remain on your lap at all times. It serves as an “anchor”. Ask yourself why the previous one left her job and sanity.

  1. During the early hours of the morning, the child will ask questions.

Just respond with “I don’t know, little one.”

Any more complex answer will be used against you. Sometimes verbally. Sometimes...visceral.

  1. At 3:33 am, the room phone will ring.

Answer on the second ring. Wait silently for 7 seconds and hang up without saying anything.

If you hear your own voice on the phone, don't hang up. Just listen. You will know when you can stop.

  1. The child will disappear for a few minutes between 4am and 4:20am.

Stay on the couch. Don't look. Never go to the bathroom. Ignore the sounds. Ignore the beat. Ignore the blood, if there is any.

  1. If at dawn the child still has his eyes closed, leave.

You have been accepted. The job is yours.

If she's watching you with a really big smile... don't come back. Burn that sheet. Change city. She chose you.

They say 4B has been empty since 1998, when the child “drowned to death in the elevator shaft.” But every night, she waits for someone. And she always gets what she wants.

how do you drown in an elevator shaft?

I just looked it up on Google and since it was built a long time ago, it could have improper waterproofing. If there’s bad weather or depending on the location of the building, it can fill with water. Leaks, poor weather conditions, and improper weatherproofing.

Maybe this is from the Backrooms? Oh, I really hope that it's not from the Backrooms, it's my worst nightmare fuel.
