    The sirens echoed in the background. Tommy's father crouched down before the four year olds who where celebrating the party. "Come with me." He said. "Daddy I'm scared." Tommy said. "I know you are. I'm here so theirs no need. I'll always be here.... even if you can't see me."  Tommy nodded. "Okay."  Tommy's father lead the children to a under ground bunker. He smiled and apparently heard something because he quickly turned his head around. "I'll be right back" he said. "Okay." He walked out. Tommy hear a scream. "DADDY?" He stood up and left the bunker. "DADDY?" He saw something standing over what looked to be his dad. "Daddy?" His dad was covered in blood. Half of his face was missing. "Dad..dy?" The clocked  figure looked over.
    Tommy let out a scream as he woke up. "Just a nightmare.." he muttered. His best friend Marie woke up beside him. She rubbed her eyes. "Are you okay Tom?" She looked at him. "Yeah I'm fine..just another nightmare." He looked at her and smiled. "The same one as always?" He sighed. "Of course." Marie shook her head. "Too bad there aren't any therapists around." She said. "Yeah.." they where 17 now. That dream had been haunting him for 13 years. 13 long years.
    Marie laid back down. "I'm going back to sleep." She said. "Okay night." Tommy said. She fell back asleep. Tom couldn't sleep much any more. He was haunted by the memory's of that day. The fall out. His dad. But most importantly the clocked figure. He looked at his sleeping friends. 'God they probably think I'm an annoyance.' He thought. He laid back down and fell asleep.
