The boy on the moon

Once upon a dark wintery night a little boy, nameless, looked out his window at the bright moon. He sighed, he wondered what it would be like on the moon. Just then a bright light shone and a beautiful silver staircase appeared. He awed at the beauty of it. His curiosity peaked and he started climbing. Once he got to the top he stepped on to the moons surface. In the distance he could see a tower. As he got closer the tower got taller, so tall he couldn't even see the top. He saw a small open door and went through it, there was another staircase. He started climbing and as he continued he began to get more tired. He almost fell several times but he forced himself on. When he finally got to the top he saw a small frail boy chained to the wall. Nameless saw an axe out of the boys reach but not out of his. He went to grab it but the boy screamed for him to stop. He didn't listen and grabbed it. Suddenly he flew forward and dropped the axe. It slid across the room and stopped right at the feet of the little boy. Nameless ran towards him but the creature jumped on his back. It's claws ripping his shirt and tearing into his flesh, nameless shrieked and stumbled as the kid swung the axe with deadly precision. The creature fell and turned to dust, nameless shakily stood up and took the axe. He swung it down on the chains and the brittle chains broke. Nameless took his hand and led him down the stairs. As they walked nameless was breathing hard and wobbling. Blood drenched his back and the little boy stared at him in worry. Black dots danced in his vision and then darkness. Nameless woke up back in his bed with a doll. The doll looked exactly like the little boy on the moon.
