Faces washed, teeth are brushed then lovely prayers are said, one last glass of water, one more kiss, then tucked in bed The light is out, the door closed tight the little ones will sleep as just below the windowsill, the wanderer will creep Slowly, slowly, from the gloom, into the moonlit place where they lay blissful, unaware, of terror that awaits His blood is boiling, hellfire-mad, his wicked grin, barbed wire, with razor nails, he reaches towards the objects of desire The light is out, the door closed tight, there is no time to scream, as darkness folds it’s evil arms around small ones who dream. |

Debbie This was a great read. I liked the way you used the little ones and their dreams. I believe that we were all scared of the dark once in our lives, especially when we were little.  Garfield |

This is chillingly terrifying, Debbie. Challenge well met! I'll be sure not to read this to my grandkids! Denise |

Thanks! I think this is one bedtime story that I won't read to my kids either! |
