does nightmares have pasts?

sticks and stones may break your bones but fire will always kill you

William (aka Bellman, 9 years old) was a pretty tall kid at least in his school he didn't really like the school though what kid didn't like school? Well William did like the learning but not the bullies though William was tall but it still didn't matter he was skinny and weak though one day was just... very well heated
One of the bullies gotten their hands on a lighter and knew exactly what to do
They went up to Bellman on recess Bellman was just on the swing until...he felt burning..? He smelled it too...he freaks out as he tries to put out the fire he runs to the bathroom turning on the sink and puts out the fire but it was too late his face looked horrible and everything hurt so badly he no longer had his thick curly hair but the thing that scared William the most was the fact his face didn't burn like a normal person's would it was like a candle..he started crying and ran to the teacher telling her everything she picks Bellman up and takes him to the hospital she had the substitute teacher watch the kids as she went she knew her students were bad but not this bad...
William just wanted the pain to stop he was tired, hurt and upset I mean what kid wouldn't be after being set on fire soon they got to hospital before opening the door the teacher puts William down
"William your going to be staying here for awhile be on your best behavior" the teacher said
William nods opening the door to the hospital
He looks around looking at all the mannequins..it was so weird soon saw one move it moved towards William and he screamed running as fast as he could but it was no use they got him
The mannequins held William taking him to the doctor "such a handsome little boy.." the mannequin said having a raspy voice
William was confused "aren't you going to kill me?" William asked sounding scared
"Why would I want to kill you? There's no reason too I'm just taking you to doctor so he can help you" the mannequins said she finally made it to the doctor who was on the ceiling working on his patient
"Why is he on the ceiling..?" William whispered to the mannequin
"He says it's more comfortable" the mannequin said putting William down "you're going to have to walk to him now I can't go into the light" the mannequin said
William sighs slowly going up to the doctor
