Things That Go Bump in the Night

I hear crazy laughter ringing through the darkness. It is in the bed next to me. It is the middle of the night and I haven’t been able to sleep, it is so loud and the bed keeps shaking. Something is bouncing on the bed right next to me. I shiver thinking about the blows to my face, the times when I have felt a hard skull smash against my nose or mouth in the darkness, and I am left with a fat lip or blood around the edges of my nose. And then something unexpected happens, I feel sharp teeth clenched down on the skin on my arm, ripping at my flesh.

No I am not having a nightmare or writing a horror novel. Sophie is having yeast issues and getting a molar in. Sometimes I can’t believe that this is my life.

Wow, Sarah.

Sadly, I could write a similar post.

So many people just have no idea…
