Danielle D.

Childhood Nightmare

Pitch black
Shadows on the wall
Creaking sounds
The sun peeking through
Rolling around
What’s happening
Fears
Walk in
Someone jumps out
Scream
Run with bolting speed
Bare feet pattering on the ground
Call for help
No one hears
Where is the family
In an unknown dark place
About to be grabbed
Scream
Pop up
Realize there’s no one around
It was just a dream
