Bad Dreams

“Daddy, I had a bad dream.”

You blink your eyes and pull up on your elbows. Your clock glows red in the darkness — it’s 3:23. “Do you want to climb into bed and tell me about it?”

“No, Daddy.”

The oddness of the situation wakes you up more fully. You can barely make out your daughter’s pale form in the darkness of your room. “Why not, sweetie?”

“Because in my dream, when I told you about the dream, the thing wearing Mommy’s skin sat up.”

For a moment, you feel paralyzed; you can’t take your eyes off of your daughter. The covers behind you begin to shift.

This is REALLY creepy for me to think about…. Why? Because I used to do that as a kid. I wouldn’t wanna wake my parents up after having a nightmare because of that EXACT thing and I just went into their room, sat on the floor, and cried xD

I haven’t witnessed my bedsheets moving on their own, and I don’t want to.

It is a great story, pretty original idea but I think it could be a bit more detailed. However, if you were going for short and sweet, I think its okay. 3.7/5
