Nightmare

I had a terrible dream the other night.

It was a straight up nightmare like the ones kids have. The kind that people base horror movies off of.

I was lying in bed in my darkened bedroom and this dark, lanky creature managed to wriggle and slip through the closed window and drawn blinds in an otherworldy sort of way. Then it hovered and swayed above the foot of my bed and then loomed over me while I lay there, parylized as it looked down into my eyes. Its face looked like a mime, but the colors were inverted.

I woke up.
