Another cryptic story for you!
Note: I'm not the authour of this story. I've translated it from original Japanese into English. Please do NOT copy and paste it somewhere else on the web without my permission.
**************************************
I was in a station, sitting on a bench and waiting for the train to come.
Presently, a lady holding a baby to her breast sat down next to me.
Well I'm fond of children and I couldn't help but stare at the sweet-looking baby.
The lady noticed this and she started chatting to me in a friendly manner.
'This isn't actually a baby, you know. It's a bag.'
As she said so, she turned over the baby's clothes and showed me a zipper on the belly.
Now that she said it, I noticed that the baby's eyes appeared to be made of glass too.
'Wow, it looks very realistic."'
'Yes, I know. It takes a lot of work to make it. Time-consuming, too. But it doesn't bother me, because I love recycling things,' she replied with a smile.
Just then the train pulled up. She stood up and got on the train.
I was going to catch the same train but I couldn't bring myself to move.
So I sat there rigid and stared after the train until it disappeared into the distance.

Comments
so it was a real baby? D:
Thanks for translating the story, Saya!
@Simon: We're all a little twisted in our own way. Hence what I just typed.
Thanks for the story, Saya!
IT MEANS SHE HAS A DEAD BABY IN HER ARMS.
You're definitely looking into it too much. All we're given is that the woman has a baby bag made out of a real baby. No where does it state that her baby died and she made it into a baby. For all we know, she could have found the dead baby on the street.
Ah, but 'looking into it too much' is what creepy short stories are intended for. Not much information is given to readers, thus it makes us imagining :)
Anyways, love this story Saya!
I thought she herself have a zip behind her that made the author to stay at the station.
AHHHHHHHHHHOHGOD WHY HAS NO ONE REALIZED THIS.
Jesus, this was the first to really creep me out in a while. Thanks, Saya! well, creep in a WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT way.
@Adyan: Yes, indeed, sir:)
@Mateusz: It appears so!
@crazy51: my pleasure, dear. I love crazy people like you! lol
@Hikage: oh! A nice big smile!
@Simon: Things like this can be both scary and funny at the same time - rather like stories by Edgar Allan Poe!
@FluffyChocolatey: Interesting interpretation!
@Picklegod: Yeah she must be very skilled. Maybe she is a taxidmist?lol
I agree Simon shouldn't worry! I mean look at me! XD
How sweet. Thank you dear.
@John: yes, I think it is very possible that the lady had lost her child and gone mad... You are very kind-hearted, dear.
@Sachi: don't be sad! :)
@Anonymous: it is always my pleasure to have sagacious readers like yourself, dear!
@Anonymous 2: Yes we never know what really happened. It maybe her dead child or she may have found it lying dead on the street!
@Anonymous 3: real people are always scarier than ghosts!
@FluffyChocolatey: I must agree with you dear. Guessing and imagining things from the little information we've given is all part of the fun with such stories!
I don't think John is looking into it too much either!
But, well, let's not start a fight over such trivial matters! :D
@andrew: again, interesting interpretation!
@Rebecca: Thank you dear! I'm glad you love the story ;)
@Yuki and Picklegod: always good to hear people's opinions! Interesting!
@Steeple33: really? I didn't expect people to be so creeped out by this one! Well I'm glad that it was able to entertain you! ;)
@Tani:very true, dear.
@William: thank you very much dear. How wonderfully gentlemanly you always are!
I hope you're sleeping OK now! :D
