Irreparable contract

Why

- Mom, why is it written in this book that people are naive? - I asked.

- Probably, because it's just nonsense, because this book is handed out to everyone in a row by demons personally. she answered me in her soothing, sweet and viscous voice, like honey.

"But it's true", I thought, and fell asleep in my mother's arms. I had a very strange dream. I ran through an endless forest, and the demons that I had never seen in my life pursued me. I don't know why I decided that they were demons, but they just ran, ran and ran after me. I was terribly scared, I saw a tall tree and decided that the demons could not climb it, because it was very winding and thin, and the demons had very large claws. But then one of them took off, on wings that appeared from nowhere, and grabbed me in its huge paws. I woke up all in a cold sweat, as if I were really running away from those demons. But the dream was very quickly eclipsed by the soft and warm mother's embrace.

"Whatever the dream, it's just a dream", I reassured myself. But because of the nightmare, I still could not sleep and decided to go to the kitchen to drink a glass of water. The water was cold, still, we are still poor.

- Elizabeth * yawn *, where are you, honey? - asked only the awakened mother.

- I just had a bad dream, so I decided to walk around the house.

- Well then, go to sleep * yawn * to me * yawning *.

Eh ... Although mom rarely croaks in a dream, it's still annoying. I drank water, rinsed the glass and went back to bed. Soon the snoring subsided and I was able to sleep.
