Janitor Who Hears Noises From Outside Finds A Box With A Heartbreaking Message

On a quiet night in December, a school janitor was closing up for the night. The empty halls of the school were silent; all the students had gone home long ago. But something pierced through the silence: a soft cry echoing through the hallways. The janitor followed the sound to the school's front door, where he found a mysterious box sitting unattended in the snow. When he looked inside, he couldn't believe his eyes.

Silent Night

By the time 6 p.m. rolled around, the school’s hallways were silent. The janitor knew this silence well, and he was used to mopping the floors with only his thoughts to keep him company. But that particular night, everything changed. 

A Soft Echo

The janitor heard it as he was finishing up his nightly rounds of the halls: a soft whimpering noise. He froze. Like every night, he assumed he was the only person left in the entire school...so what was whimpering around the corner?

Nothing in Sight

There was only one way to find out. The janitor rounded the corner and saw...nothing. But then he heard it again: The sound of something crying. And this time, he was determined to find where it was coming from. 

Through the Door

He was led to the front of the school, and he could tell the whimpering was coming from outside the front door. The janitor threw them open — and when he saw what was out there, all of his fear melted away.
