She forced herself to open her eyes. Good, one step at a time, she thought. Taking a deep breath she pulled the blanket off of her face slowly. 2
It was still there, the embodiment of all of her nightmares. One person, one man, portraying everything that terrified her, haunted her hours both waking and asleep. Only recently had she seen his face. In a way it was a relief to finally put a face to her tormentor, it was easier to fear the unknown and conquer the known. It was small comfort though, knowing her source of terror. Terror was terror, even if it wore a pink tutu and glass slippers.3
He didn't move, this horrendous man. Not even to acknowledge the tears rolling down her frightened face. He simply stood, eyes focused on the wall behind her. Not even looking at her and still she trembled. 4
I can't face this, she thought, and pulled the blanket back over her head. She had known it was not long until she had to face this man, this nightmare, knew her dreams would come to life. But believing things and seeing them for a fact were two different things. 5
For once, she wished she hadn't been right.6

interesting piece. it is dark and haunting. the girls fear is well described, and feels real to read. it sounds like something from a horror film, to open your eyes and see a dark figure stood at the bottom of your bed....spine chilling!

I like the way you snuck in some sarcastic humor. Are you planning to add on to this? I don't want to rated this because it was so short and it didn't have much description on the characters or plot. I did feel her fear and relucence (sp?) though. I thought it was a great start and if you do continue with this I would love to read it.

WOW!!!! Brilliant read.....

did she just lose a tooth? umm, i don't get this at all, but i do get the feelings of terror. you wrote it well, if cryptically.

Hmmm... Well, this is interesting... kinda threw me off a little when you said something about a pink tutu and glass slippers though... But I understand the concept, and i THINK I understand what you are trying to say... But anyway, nice write, once again. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the great work!
