Nightmares In Daylight

Sitting in the moonlight, clad in a soft white gown, blood running from her fingers, to drip to the thirsty ground. You feel her eyes upon you, beckoning you near. You try to turn and runaway, but your frozen there with fear. The remnants of her last meal, lays ravaged about her feet. The ground is slick with blood and gore, you wish you had not seen. She lifts her arms out towards you, to take you in her embrace. You start to sweat and you feel your heart begin to race. Her mouth, it is an ugly gash of pointed teeth and torn flesh. It makes a sickly smacking sound as she smells your blood so fresh. Suddenly, she's there beside you and hitting you with a plate. You blink your eyes and shake your head, a smile comes to your face. Now comes the messy task of cleaning up from all the food action. You are just an average teen, with an overactive imagination. It wasn't a ghoul or vampire, out to make you bloody confetti. It was just your little baby sis, eating her spaghetti.
