[Music] my wife and I moved into our new apartment just a few months ago before this we lived in a large cottage overlooking a beautiful lake we didn't want to leave but it was a necessary step for us it was my wife's dream home for the three years that we lived there you see Jessica and I used to live down south everything was going well for a while but my law firm decided to promote me out of the blue it was unexpected but I couldn't have been more grateful unfortunately the job until transferring to another one of our many branch alok Asians the one in question was in New England we spoke along in a heart on the matter but eventually Jess agreed to the move it's important to note that the dollar doesn't stretch as far up north as it does down south it's also harder to find employment that's why we were downgrading our living space until Jess could find another job we would have to suffer at least that's the way she looked at it tensions were high for the first few weeks after the move I could tell jess was irritable she missed her old house our old friends and working a steady job she had nothing to do with all of her free time she was also bored out of her skull this led to many fights for a while it seemed like we would never settle in about a month after the move things started looking up just found temporary work as a part-time editor at a local TV station she loved the work and couldn't be happier with her coworkers I couldn't have been happier for her everything seemed to be fine for a while not perfect but fine this was when the sleep-talking began it was to be expected and honestly I'm surprised that it didn't start up much sooner my wife is a restless sleeper whenever there's a big change in her life good or bad it happened when we got married when we moved into our first home and when she had the miscarriage I'll touch up more than that later just knows that she talks in her sleep because I used to bring it out from time to time I would laugh each morning recalling the weird things that she said the night before this always made her uncomfortable she seemed to be embarrassed by it and that's why after the first night of sleep talking in our new apartment I didn't say anything the sleep talking went on for a couple of weeks it was at this time that her temp job at the television station came to an end without a job to keep her mind off of things her nightly outbursts became much worse she begins screaming at odd times during the night in which I would be forced to calm her down one night her screams turned into tears as she was crying she said something that I'll never forget I wish you were dead I knew my wife was asleep but as I sat there by her side calming her the best I could I felt the need to press the matter you wish who were dead hon to my surprise she responded you this caught me off-guard it's a strange thing to want your husband dead and even stranger while you're asleep why you're ruining my life those four words cut deep whether they were meant or merely the product of a tired mind they were the kind of words that demanded self-reflection I wondered for a moment if I was truly ruining her life or at least if I were to blame for her night terrors my wife remains silent for the rest of the night I know this because I stayed of contemplation and worried kept me from a good night's rest I didn't believe for a second that my wife wanted me dead but her late-night antics were certainly a cause for concern between the screaming episodes and the morbid dialogue this was the worst her condition had ever been the next morning I came pretty damn close to telling her about what had happened but I kept thinking about how she would react and what she would say it was too much I didn't want to burden her any more than I already had especially after she had been laid off I also didn't want to have another fight in light of this I kept my mouth shut the following night the screams were gone it was a comfort but a fleeting one out of the blue just as I was about to shut my eyes and call it a night the sleep talking commenced once again sometimes I think about how I do it I chalked to the statement up to pure dream induced to nonsense but then she continued I are asleep in bed I'll get up and go to the kitchen I didn't know what she was talking about but as she kept speaking there were some moments of inaudible gibberish but from the bits and pieces that were fluent I could paint a pretty good picture of what she was describing great in to grab named over it blood oozing off the bed can't ruin my life anymore my wife was describing her plan to murder me as deeply unsettling as this was I couldn't help but chuckle to myself it was just a dream after all nothing more I can't say I haven't done weird things on my own dreams things I would never do in real life jess was just mad at me over the move and she was working on her frustrations while she slept at least that's what I convinced myself the sleep talking continued for a few weeks I had hoped that just as midnight venting sessions were doing her some good but without a degree in psychology I couldn't be certain all I could do was listen to her ramble about offing me each night and wait for her condition to run its course the longest for sleep talking had ever lasted was a month so it was safe to say that it would be over soon a month passed then to Jess didn't let up every night it was the same routine either incoherent nonsense or babblings about how she would like to hurt me it was getting old but one night changed everything as my wife slept she uttered some words that tore right through my heart I lost my baby because of you my emotions swirled about and formed a sour concoction that rested in the pit of my stomach this time I had to know what she meant what do you mean hon there was a brief moment of silence but eventually Jess offered me an answer there was some more gibberish mixed in but she was able to get her point across you made me want kids you put life in me now I'm alone this struck a nerve and caused a few tears to roll down my cheeks it was my idea to have a kid just never wanted children but she made herself want them for me that's why after the miscarriage I was surprised to find her absolutely devastated I had no clue how much she had warmed up to the idea of having a baby my tears were interrupted by more sleep talking of the worst variety I will kill you I promise that was the last thing she said to me that night it's been roughly a week since my wife made that promise as disturbing as that threat was I could have easily brushed it off with the rest assuming that it too was a product of stress and was nothing to worry about unfortunately I can't stop worrying about it jess is scaring the crap out of me I'm now taking short naps and sleeping with one eye open and it's all because of one thing now she's sleepwalking at first I thought she was just getting up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom it quickly became apparent that this was not the case she would wander around our room seemingly searching for something and when I called out her name she wouldn't respond I tried to remain calm but she had never sleepwalked before this sent her malicious sleep-talking put me on edge I ended up telling her about it one morning not the sleep talking but the sleepwalking I hoped that she would shed some light on the issue or at least opt in for some help or medication of some sort she didn't either after talking about it she laughed she couldn't believe that she had sleepwalked for the first time and this amused her she wasn't all that concerned it seemed I did my best to mirror Jessa's carefree stance on the subject but this became more and more difficult as time went on she kept sleep talking and sleepwalking it wasn't until one night in particular in which they occurred at the same time that I came to be truly worried Jess shuffled out of bed waking me up in the process I sighed in disappointment knowing it was just another one of her episodes I kept still as not to startle her though I remained alert lending a cautious ear to the room mapping out her movements in my mind for the sake of my own safety I didn't want the sleepwalking version of Jess anywhere near me she gave me the creeps as she stumbled about the room I patted myself on the back for hiding the one thing I didn't want her to find I was so spooked the first night she started sleepwalking that I took all of the sharp knives out of the kitchen drawers and put them all in a shoebox underneath the bed I still didn't think she was going to kill me but you can never be too safe knowing the only weapons in the house were hidden I felt secure and almost fell back asleep Jess put an end to this with a few words a few words that told me the knives were not what she was looking for where's my baby startled I jumped in an instant I must have drifted off for a moment because I hadn't even noticed that jess was standing right next to my side of the bed I looked her up and down and sure enough she was still asleep her eyes were glazed over and her eyelids were drooping I took me a moment to gather my wits and process what she had asked you don't have a baby hon Jess's head tilted to one side almost as if she was confused you took my baby firm all this was about the miscarriage again I wondered if just felt the same way I wondered if she was still holding on to our unborn child I didn't take anything hon it was hard to see in the dark but I swear her facial expression went sour when I said that you gave me life you took it away I didn't have it in me to keep arguing I mean how does one reason with someone who's unconscious I stayed silent and waited patiently for her to go back to bed after a minute or two she finally did upon lying down she turned to me and offered me one last sentiment I will kill you [Music] the next day I was more than a little bit off I was so rattled by the latest incident that I couldn't even bring myself to eat breakfast just notice this and asked me what was going on at first I told her nothing just a lack of sleep this was partly true but it wasn't the real reason for my anxiousness it clawed at me and clawed at me until I finally came clean about the whole ordeal I told Jess everything I didn't leave a single detail out she kept quiet while I spoke so I had no clue what was going through her head after absolutely everything was out in the open I shut my mouth and waited for her reaction I was greeted with silence well do you have anything to say or she looked at me with sad eyes before she spoke I guess this means I need help I was relieved to hear her say this what was happening was a big problem for both of us but I knew that we could overcome it together just asked me more questions about her nightly adventures we talked a little more about what to do next a big weight had been lifted off my shoulders so it's settled then I'll call dr. Harrison and set up an appointment for tomorrow hopefully you can point me in the direction of a good psychiatrist dr. Harrison was a physician for both of our families we have been seeing him since we were children and that's actually how we ended a meeting later on in our college years if anyone knew what to do in this situation it would be him content with our game plan I headed to the door to leave for work I almost made it but a couple of things stayed with me I couldn't take off just yet I needed some peace of mind and the only way to attend it would be to confront Jess with a couple of questions I sat back down at the kitchen table have you moved on Jess are you past the miscarriage she looked at me like she was shocked I would even ask about that no I guess I'm not I thought I was but maybe I just bottled it up deep down and that's what's causing all of this maybe if I do move on and we'll all stop the sleep-talking my stress all of it I hope to shrink and help I put my hand on hers and held it for a brief moment before putting forth a much more awkward query and you really don't want to kill me right she grabbed my hand and clenched it tight of course not how could you say that I don't know why I've been seeing those things in my sleep but I love you I always have I smiled this put my mind at ease the situation wasn't exactly a good one but I felt like I was growing closer to Jess our bond could not be broken not after that we were finally tending to old wounds and I couldn't have been happier about it I was elated that night our room was quiet for a long while no shuffling around no getting out of bed nothing it was peaceful as such I slept better than I had in months near the end of the night however the familiar sound of Jess crawling out of bed woke me up it appeared that my good night's rest was too good to be true Jess got out of bed as she normally did when she sleep walked but that's when the sound stopped I didn't hear her walking around the room this time I thought maybe she had gone to the bathroom but then I realized that I hadn't heard the bathroom door open either I decided that it might be in my best interest to see what was going on so I rolled onto my back sat up and rubbed my eyes to get a better view there at the foot of our bed was Jess she was standing as still as ever looking directly at me a batch of familiar words ensued I'm going to kill you being used to the routine by now I attempted to coax her back into bed honey you're asleep come back to bed she continued to stare at me he then replied with two words I will not soon forget I'm awake what what do you mean you're awake I was baffled by my wife statement that's right I'm wide awake in fact I was never asleep any of the times you heard me sleep talking I looked at her in disbelief unsure of how to respond I wanted you to get scared I wanted you to feel at least a tenth of the misery I've gone through being married to you what are you talking about was all I could bring myself to say I didn't want a baby I didn't want to move I didn't want any of this but I felt like I had to because of you I'm drowning in your life so low beneath the water that I can't even breathe I listened intently to what my wife was saying but I couldn't find it in me to comfort her I didn't know what it was she needed to hear I didn't know how to help and after I lost the baby that was it I changed having a living thing inside of me just died like that was a hell of a thing to go through my goals my priorities my emotions they all changed my whole world was different I couldn't even close my eyes at night without seeing the face of our unborn child in my dreams I can't take it anymore I just can't I moved closer to my wife in an attempt to console her she then pulled out a kitchen knife from behind her back stopping me dead in my tracks hon are you crazy what are you doing but the goddamn knife down you think I didn't notice the shoebox under the bed you think I didn't know how afraid you were each night I look directly into her eyes all I could see was hatred and tears she truly didn't want me alive and I could feel it I knew Jes was distraught but I had no idea to what extent if only I had noticed if only I had paid more attention you made me want a baby you did this to me she paused for a moment and wiped away some of her tears before continuing I tried so hard to keep going for you but I don't want to feel trapped anymore her baby is somewhere in the afterlife all alone we need to take care of it we're its parents that's why it's time for us to go I couldn't believe it my wife was farther gone than I could have ever guessed she wanted to kill me and herself so we could be with our baby again I needed to do something and fast okay hon you're right let's do it just his face lit up as I said this but I was only trying to buy a little time I slowly got out of bed once I was in a standing position I quickly grabbed the comforter off our bed and tossed it out my wife I ran past her as quickly as I could I felt the sharp dive in the process her knife had pierced the blanket and a little bit of my skin still I'm eat it out of the bedroom and into the bathroom where I swiftly slammed the door shut and locked it behind me I was safe for the time being I would have ran straight out of the apartment if I thought I would have made it but we have a deadbolt on it that sometimes sticks chances are she would have reached me before I could unlock the damn thing being stuck in the bathroom was good enough for me just jiggled the knob a few times in anger when she realized that I had locked it she began screaming and banging on the door as hard as she could this lasted for about three minutes before she broke down and started crying that's when she tried to reason with me don't you want to see our baby I wonder if it's a boy or a girl I bet it's a boy I can see him now our beautiful son he has your eyes can't you see it honey don't you want to be there with me I didn't respond anything I could say wouldn't make a difference Jess had gone off the deep end and there was no way back up I felt sorry for her but in that moment I was feeling much more sorry for myself all I could think about was getting the hell out of there just stop talking to me after a while I heard her crying for a little bit but eventually that stopped to silence begin to fill our apartment and half of me wondered for a split second if she had passed out or something but my other half told me that it could all be a part of her plan she wanted to lure me out then go in for the kill when I least expected it I stayed put it was all I could do an hour passed then another I was growing tired but I didn't want to fall asleep for all I knew that's what she was waiting for then she could pick the lock without me noticing nice try hon but you'll have to do better than that even still I found myself drifting off I knew that eventually I would end up fast asleep whether it was actually a decent plan or the byproduct of an exhausted brain I decided that I would have to make a run for it I prepared the best I could I let the sink drip quietly and placed my hands under it I threw water in my face in an effort to stay alert I shut the bathroom light off and stayed there for about 10 minutes so my eyes could adjust to the dark I fed myself the classic it's now or never then turn to the bathroom knob this was it I opened the door slowly I looked around and made a mental map of the apartment living room to my left kitchen around the corner then the apartment door there was a recliner near the corner so I would have to be aware of that and not trip on my way out I looked over at the bedroom and noticed the door was shut this was a good sign perhaps just locked herself in without thinking about it too much I dashed out in haste I ran straight for the living room couch giving myself plenty of room for a wide turn upon turning it was a straight shot to the apartment door right past the kitchen just was nowhere to be found with this in mind I sprinted for the door but when I ran past the kid something impeded my escape something sharp just as I was about to make my getaway Jess came from the kitchen and thrusted her blade into my shoulder I felt back against the wall and screamed in agony she had been waiting there for me the whole time I should have been more careful I thought in hindsight I should have tiptoed and surveyed my surroundings a bit more but I was tired and scared at the time just pulled out the knife and instead of stabbing me again she spoke her baby will be so happy Jess was proud she had finally stabbed me but it was clear that she didn't have a plan passed first blood maybe she thought that one stab was all it would take or maybe she was just too tired of things straight either way I took advantage of her absent mindedness though it was painful to move I bolted back to the living room I purposely brushed up against the recliner making sure to get as close as possible without stumbling into it just as I had hoped Jess followed me to a tee she collided with a chair and fell face-first on the floor I turned back and ran right over her I reached the door fiddled with the lock and got out of there as quickly as I could with the help of a neighbor I called 9-1-1 and was taken away on a stretcher I lost a lot of blood but they were able to patch me up just fine as for my wife she didn't make it she could have escaped before the authorities showed up but she didn't she could open her wrists and bled out on the living room floor nothing would have stopped her from being with our baby I guess in her mind one parent was better than none in the wake of all this I don't know how to feel I'm equal parts of Rekha now that my wife is dead as I'm happy to be alive after escaping her I keep blaming myself for what happened but I could have never imagined it would have led up to this I may never get over what happened I hope Jessica is happy she doesn't have to feel trapped anymore it's times like these that I can't help but wonder what would have happened had our baby lived [Music] hey everyone uncle unit here special thank you to Christopher maximum for allowing us to
