"The Bad Dream"

"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 the room.

"Why not, Sweetie?"

"Because, in my dream, when I told you about the dream, the thing wearing Mummy's skin sat up." For a moment, you feel paralized; you can't take your eyes off your daughter. The covers beside you began to shift.
