All in One

    It’s bedtime again. Daddy tucks me in and mommy kisses my forehead. They leave the room, closing my creaking door behind them. I lay in the silence. The slight breeze outside causes the leaves to rustle. I hear a reverberation emanating from underneath my bed-It sounds like a gargle. I close my eyes tight and see two massive yellow horns jetting out from a large forehead. I can smell the stench of death pouring from its chapped lips. I see his white jagged teeth as its mouth curls into a deadly grin. The pale light of the moon reflects off its bare reddish skin. Its glowing yellow eyes stock me. The demon’s muscular body sits posed ready to pounce. Its long white claws extended forward prepared to dig themselves into my skin. Ready to scream, I open my eyes only to be shocked out of breath when I see light streaming through the window. Laying in stunned silence, the sounds of footsteps descend down the stairs. Mommy opens the door and tells me its time to get up.
