Breath of Light

It was a sunny October morning Amy startled awake from another vivid nightmare as she often did. She tried to calm herself by taking deep breaths and stretching to relief the tense stiffness she felt throughout her body from the night of little sleep. After a few moments of stretching she began to feel a chill which pierced her down to her bones. She shuddered and pulled the soft blanket up close to her chin and tried to encase herself like a cocoon waiting to feel the warmth return to her, and the feeling of terror to leave her. Recollection of the demons from her dreams caused beads of sweat to form on her forehead, and her heart began to beat more rapidly. These hideous grotesque creatures and demons with their wicked desires were frightening to look at. This was her reality and her nightmare.
