Bedtime
3 June 2024 J.W.H

ANDIt was a school night and I was having a really tough time at school. I had just finished dinner and went to take a bath to relax, but I couldn't stop worrying about all my homework. When I went to bed, I felt like someone was watching me get dressed, but as I got used to it, I just didn't pay attention to it.

I jumped into bed and lay awake worrying. I heard my dad turn off all the lights and go to bed, so I knew it was behind schedule.

When I finally fell asleep, I woke up to someone jumping on me. I was on the other side of the house. I got scared, wondering if my mom and dad could hear me. I felt like he was pulling my soul out of me through my stomach. I tried to scream, but he held me by the throat, so it felt like he was holding my larynx in his hand. I tried and tried to fight him, but he wouldn't move until I tried to scream again and he disappeared (I knew it was a man because I felt his gigantic, robust hands and I could also smell his scent).

I ran to my mother's room and told her what had happened, and she invited two lovely ladies to bless the house. I never stayed in this room again.
