Janitor Hears Noises From Outside Before Spotting 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. And when he looked inside, he couldn’t believe his eyes.

Silent night

By the time that 6 p.m. rolled around, the school’s hallways were empty. 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 rounds of the halls. There was a soft whimpering noise. He froze. Just like every other night, he had assumed that he was the only person left in the entire school... so what was that 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 someone or something crying. And this time, he was determined to find out where it was coming from.

Looking through the door

The janitor was led to the front of the school by the sound, and he could make out that the whimpering was coming from just outside the front door. The janitor threw the doors open — and when he saw what was out there, all of his fear suddenly melted away.
