Sometimes Felix worries Sally.  

It happens periodically.  
Felix will just sit in a chair,
and stare out into space.  

His facial expression
is a complete blank.  

He can’t, and won’t be disturbed.  

He is completely lost
in his own thoughts.

When Felix does that,
Sally knows he will be in for
a bad night’s sleep,
with a whole lot of
thrashing around
and moaning.  

Then he will awaken suddenly,
with a loud shriek
that will wake up Angelo.  

Sally knows that Felix
is bothered by
unpleasant memories.

Bobby

Horrors surpressed during the day seem to run amuck at night. My mother had a  very bad childhood and often screamed at night and scared me half to death.

Ida,

I know where you're coming from.  I moan, and scream at night too.  It does scare people.

I feel for Felix, he must have some real bad memories, such a crime for kids to have to carry such bad experiences through their life...a hug for the little guy from over the water....  John

Thanks John,

Bad dreams are no fun.

BTW, Felix has gone to Mature Content - Behind Closed Doors if you would like to read him again.

Felix seems so young to be so burdened.  I too send him hugs and wishes for comfort. My son is biplor and has frequent night terrors and I emphathize.
Thank you for sharing

Shyvl,

Night terrors, as you describe them can happen at any age.  

Thankfully, Felix at sevent-one has outgrown them.

I wish you son freedom from the night terrors.

God bless us all.

Bobby
