It was a dark and stormy night. Linda heard strange noises, woke up, walked down the hallway with fear in her eyes, turned and saw a shadow. Her blood turned cold as she gazed at the shadow peeping at her from behind a wall in the darkness.
Linda walked backwards and banged into the wall. She turned and saw nothing until she looked at the wall where she saw a small shadow. In front of her there was nothing but a small shadow could be seen on the wall.
Linda screamed and ran, but it was impossible for anyone to hear her scream of terror. She tried to wake up from her nightmare but couldn't. It felt like if someone did not want her to leave this horrifying nightmare.
She ran to the kitchen and last thing you know she was laying in the floor with a knife popping through her heart. Linda could not wake up because she was not only killed in her dream but also in reality. The first one to notice was her dear mother. They took Linda to a graveyard and buried her.
And that's all. But I can add something…the ghost children still live.
