Pretending To Be Asleep Doesn't Work

Samuel is a little 5years old child. Samuel is sleeping in his bed
on a usual night. He hears
footsteps outside his door, and
peeks out of his eyes to see what
is happening. His door swings
open quietly to reveal a murderer
carrying the corpses of his
parents. After silently propping
them up on a chair, he writes
something on the wall in the
blood of the dead bodies. He then
hides under the child's bed.
The child is scared beyond belief.
He can’t read the writing on the
wall and he knows the man is
under his bed. Like any child, he
pretends that he slept through the
whole thing and hasn’t awoken
yet. He lays still as the bodies,
quietly hearing the breathes from
under his bed.
An hour passes, and his eyes are
adjusting more and more to the
darkness. He tries to make out the
words, but it’s a struggle. He
gasps when he finally makes out
the sentence.
“I know you’re awake”. He feels
something shift underneath his
bed...IT WAS ALL A DREAM (…)
