The very essence of nightmares captured in very few words - this one gets my vote.

good story

Thank you for the LOVELY comments, guys! I literally just did a little happy dance because of your comment, Pat.

I remember reading this way back there...

First, you know how to write! THAT is such a plus. Good succinct sentences, good in-scene description. VERY tense, too. Love the ending. My kind of stuff, Jessica. A vote, indeed!

That was wicked. A very nightmarish vision. I used to have those as a child. I think something was wrong with me too :p or too many horror movies. Great read!

Really good story,made me think of when I was a little girl and put my stuffed animals all around me in the bed hoping to blend in so nothing could get me. Good luck

Was it a nightmare or hallucination? Whatever it is, you described it well. Good luck!

The horror of the situation adds to the idea that this isn't just her imagination, and that there really are demons near. But her parents never see them or hear them like she does.

It's up to you to decide the end result--

Are demons out there or is it all in her head? Either way it's dangerous.
