I woke up panting and out of breath. “Another one,” I said aloud.

I looked out the window to see a terrible storm. It was dark outside. I let out a whimper just as the roar of the thunder hit my ears. I didn't want to imagine what's under my bed, or inside the closet so I sat all curled up.

Then I heard the faint sound of footsteps. The source kept moving slowly and stopped outside my room. I hid my face under the blanket.

The door opened.

“Another nightmare?” Asked Mom with a worried look.

I simply nodded.
