HOH

Trying to sleep as a child can be a full time job.

HOH

 

The hounds of hell

Have caught my scent

They have been chasing me

My whole life

In my mind

In my dreams
they breathe on me as I sleep

They growl as I pray

I would rather piss the bed

Than risk an encounter

The hounds of hell have caught my scent

Their mouths are on my neck

I am terrorized

I am nine years and wanted to die......

scary feelings, good write

[Stef Outsiders]

I can relate to this, it is sad but powerful.. a child's mind is a powerful place. My son is nearly 8 and often he talks of death... its worrying sometimes..

good write though... x

You, sir, have earned a new fan.

It captures you from the very beginning, job well done! Seriously!
As someone else said before, the haunting fantasy of kids is a very nice angle.

This is so sad, but the realization of a 9 yr. olds haunting fantacy, is quite a wicked write..
