"Run, Kane! Run and don't stop!" Kane Vanderjoy awoke with a small yelp. "Phew, another nightmare," he thought as he wiped sweat from his forehead. "They just keep getting worse." Kane reached for his phone to check the time. "3:37 AM," he thought. "Or maybe it's 3:31," he whispered as he wiped his eyes. He stood up, stretched, and took a step towards his bedroom door, when a peculiar noise startled him, and caused him to whirl around. When he whirled around, he accidentally slipped on the book he was reading and fell onto his stomach. "Crap!" he thought. "That's a library book." He stood back up, attempting to discover what had caused such a peculiar noise. He took another step and the noise occurred once more. He looked down to see a squeaky toy. It was a stuffed rabbit that was holding a carrot. His dog, Joff, couldn't have gone far, being that it was Joff's favorite toy. Kane peeked under his bed to see his Doberman puppy, fast asleep while curled up in one of Kane's sheets.

Kane smiled and climbed back into his bed softly, so that he would not awaken Joff. Soon after, he drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
